Split your needs...

No video camera makes high-quality stills

for paper prints; the best-quality video images

in fairly compact Mini-DV cameras are made

by the VX2000 (and variants) and the

Panasonic DVX100 (and variants) - some

consider these small, but others do not);

OIS = DIS, if each is properly implemented;

good low-light performance and 1-CCD

(and some 3-CCD) are contradictory

concepts - but see the two cameras named

above...;-)
