Depends how you define "better", but on brand alone I'd recommend a Canon over Sony for a camera every time.
Canon have been making quality cameras for many decades (admittedly this goes back to the film era), Sony by comparison is a newcomer in the field.
Just be quite sure it's a compact you really want. A compact was my first digital camera purchase and within a month it left me feeling too restricted & and wanting more from a camera (having just come from a Pentax SLR film camera).
So I sold the compact and bought a DSLR, to which I added (over several months) longer zoom lenses for wildlife shots and a more powerful flashgun , none of which would have been possible with a pocket digicam.
So be sure of want you want to be able to do with a camera, not just now but what you might want to do with it in the future.

> Buy the Canon SX720 HS if:
- You only want to take stills photography
- You want the extra zoom reach
- You want to save some money
> Buy the Sony DSC-HX90V if:
- You want better video quality
- You want better auto features
- You plan on doing more sports/fast moving photography
But both of these cameras are cut from the same cloth. In my opinion the difference is neglegible and the Canon IS cheaper!
