Both are a little overkill and bulky for 90% of the casual users. A smaller camera that fits in your pocket and has 3 or 4 megapixels is more convenient and still takes excellent 8 x 10 photos.
Check out the "Reviews" section for what users said about the cameras after using them:

No problem, it's tough to know what to get.
Of the two cameras that you are thinking about, I'd choose the Nikon. I haven't had good luck with Sony stuff, had great results with 3 different Nikon digicams.
It really depends on what you need to do with it. If you just want an easy camera that takes decent pix, almost any of the newer <$500 cameras will be fine. For my S2000 I prefer something small, so I got a Minolta Dimage X for ~$250, the newer Dimage Xi 3mp version is only around ~$300 on eBay. It's so small that it fits easily in your shirt pocket, very fast, easy to download, good battery life, and takes decent photos.
