Re: Sony's new flagship SLR

Depends on how they came up with the so called stabilized body.  Some of those systems in the body just take the reading from the meter and have the computer just up the ASA and shutter speed for you and call it a stabilized system.  If that's what it does, I don't even want it on my camera.

One system I wanted was a Ken Labs that makes any camera stabilized, but its big and isn't cheap.  Yet it works very very well.

Minolta glass owners rejoice. All their lenses are now image stabilized. Wish Canon would admit that sensor based stabilization is the way to go and incorporate it in the upcoming EOS 3D.

Well, and Kodak (DCS-14).  And wasn't there a Contax full-frame a while ago?
