Canon DSLR or Olympus point and shoot?

I’m looking to update my digital camera. I currently use an Olympus Stylus 800 with 8.0 mp.

I am torn between a DSLR and another point and shoot. I would like a 12.0 mp and to have manual controls of the aperture and shutter speed.

At this time I have narrowed my choices to a Canon EOS Rebel XSi or the Olympus Stylus-9000.

I would appreciate input from those in the know.
