Yes, In Canon and Nikon systems, the movement is tracked and compensated for by moving lens elements. In the Sony (And others) the compensating movement is not in the lens but at the actual sensor housing. A major difference is that you don't see the thing working and get that reassuring flicker through the lens like you do in a VR or IS lens. I don't often use zoom lenses these days but I do still love seeing that VR kick in when zoomed in to 200mm, when I'm on a monopod shooting action! herschel >>-----Original Message----- >>From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner- >>photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of karl shah-jenner >>Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 8:18 PM >>To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students >>Subject: Re: Sony's new flagship SLR >> >> >>Mark Blackwell >> >> >>Depends on how they came up with the so called stabilized body.
