Choosing a Camera

Well My girlfriend and I are about to buy a camera. We want a good one, but it doesn't have to be on the level of the XTi Something that takes good clear pictures and also takes clear/crisp pictures when fully zoomed in. We've narrowed it down to 2 camera's right now and I wanted some of your guys' opinions and possibly reviews before we buy. I've looked some reviews up online and they're mixed, but some of the pictures I've seen on this board are absolutely amazing so I figured maybe you guys would have some good advice.

Cameras:
Olympus SP510UZ
Can be found for $220-270
10x zoom, 7.1 megapixel, Image Stabilization(a big + for me)

Canon Powershot A720 IS
About $250
6x zoom, 8 megapixel, Image Stabilization

As you can probably tell our price range is like $200-$270ish...Thanks
