to be honest, all cameras digital and film cameras are susceptible to grainy photos with the lack of light.

The number that I would be paying attention to is the aperture range. The aperture is the opening of the lens which lets light in. The smaller the aperture the more light is let in. When I go to shoot weddings or events I have lenses for my nikon like f1.4, f2.0, and f2.8 The more light being let in allows you to take/make photos in lower light conditions without having to use flash.

the stylus 8010 's max aperture is 3.5 which is one stop less than the Canon d10. Now you can always set the iso and use the flash for shooting in the dark/low light.

I think both cameras will make great photos... I wouldn't worry about it one way or the other, but if I was going to buy one tomorrow, Id buy the canon though. Canon just makes fantastic p&s cameras.
