What is a good compact camera with these features?
I'm trying to purchase a new camera with some particular features. The folks at the camera stores are great, but each one can only talk about the camera that his/her store is selling. Can someone who's more knowledgeable about the entire camera field give me some advice?
Features I'm looking for are:
Anti-shake technology - Very Important (unsteady hands)
Good low-light shooting - very important
Facial recognition and tagging - would be nice
Fast shutter speed, minimal lag - would be nice
Sequential shots/bracketing - would be nice
Movie mode w/ sound - important
HD movies w/ sound - would be nice
Reasonably compact & easy to carry and to use without a lot of setup (or at least that option), like a point & shoot, possibly a small DSLR or hybrid
I am SO confused!! Any SUGGESTIONS or other HELP would be greatly appreciated!
David, thanks for reminding me that I should have mentioned my budget.
I don't really have a top-end, within reason, as long as the camera has all the features I need (and then some?).

It depends on your budget for the camera.
If you are willing to spend a little more for an interchangeable lens camera then you may want to consider the Sony Alpha 55, is smaller than the normal DSLR and has all the features you listed ( Anti-shake technology, Good low-light shooting, Facial recognition, Fast shutter speed, Sequential shots/bracketing, Movie mode w/ sound, HD movies w/ sound ) also features 16.2MP, Translucent Mirror Technology™, Quick AF Full HD Movie, GPS tagging, Live View with Phase detection, 10 fps, 15-point auto focus, and the kit version comes with a 18-55mm zoom lens included. Combines the easy to use nd advance functions of a compact, with the outstanding quality of a DSLR
If you are more inclined towards a compact, consider Sony's flagship model the TX9, which features all you want plus panoramic 3D shooting, great low light shots even without flash, and many more. ( 3D Sweep Panorama, iSweep Panorama Mode, 12.2-megapixel back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor, 1080i AVCHD movie mode, 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD™ touch screen display, Superior Auto mode )
