Question

Is there a major difference between the two?

Answer 1

Optical image stabilizer is superior.  In the optical system, the lens elements or sensor moves to compensate for motion or vibration.

In a digital stabilizer, electronics do the work--this might mean bumping up ISO or doing signal processing.  Bottom-line:  it's less effective.

So, if you have a choice, get optical image stabilization.
