It depends on what you're looking for.

Based on specs alone, the Pentax T20 is way ahead of the Sony W5, with a 7 megapixel sensor and 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD.

The Sony W5 is a relatively simple ultracompact. If you want flashy, the T20 makes sense, but if you're not concerned with frills and just want to take simple photos, the W5 is a fine choice.

Again, it really depends on what you are looking for. I personally like Sony because of the ease of using them, and the format. It is quite easy to figure out! I can't really tell you much about Pentax; I've never had one.
