Looking for a Digital Camera.

Want to get something under R2.5K, must have face detection and image stablization!

Sony Cybershot DSC-W130 Silver
Features


• 8.1 Mega Pixels with Super HAD CCD
• Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 4x Optical Zoom
• Large 2.5" LCD Screen
• BIONZ Image Processing Engine
• Double “Anti-blur” Solution: Super SteadyShot and ISO 3200 High Sensitivity
• Face Detection Technology for Children and Adults
• Smile Shutter
• In-camera retouching
• HD Slide Show with Select Music Playback

This one has mechanical/optical image stablization. Face detection. Price not bad. R2199 from sacamera.com

Nikon Coolpix S210 Urban Black R2299
• 8.0 megapixel resolution
• Ultra-slim body: 18mm with elegant and durable aluminum finish.
• 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating
• High ISO (2000) light sensitivity
• EXPEED image processing concept
• Optical 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens
• Electronic Vibration Reduction
• Three unique Nikon image innovations: Face-priority autofocus; D-Lighting; and In-camera Red-eye Fix
• 15 scene modes

Electronic vibration reduction is not as good as mechanical/optical which the sony has?

The sony one seems to be quite nice, any comments or other bargins?

My cousin is coming to visit us on the 14th and I will ask her to bring me a CANON IXUS 860IS from China, since www.sacamera.co.za won't let me complete the order process and I can get the Canon with better specs (then the Sony DSC-W130)and only pay half of the price if I buy from South Africa.
