Digital Camera with anti shake...

Sorry for another digital camera post.....

My family are clubbing together to get me a new digital camera this Christmas after my Sony one gave up after 3 years.

Ideally I need one with an anti-shake function as my hands aren't the most steady!

I'm looking at around £100 or less, preferably with zoom, not sure how many pixels as my old used to be 5 so anything above that would be an improvement! Don't want an overwhelming amount of functions as the Sony had that and I never used half of them.

Any suggestions?

    on an anti shake mode the ISO goes up very high, (well on mine it does 800) and leaves photos very grainy. I tend to use the flash indoors and out, if I can't use a tripod, which is most of the time. I cover the flash with scotch magic tape or a tissue so that it's not too severe.
    Not ideal but i have shaky hands as well.
    I'm not an expert by any means and I am sure somebody will tell you I am talking a load of rubbish.

    Hadn't thought of that...It's just with my Sony if was shakey it wouldn't take the picture or it would just be a blur...
