The product title does not include "OS" but the description specifically indicates it has Optical Stabiliation. Does it have it or not?

No OS, and the lens would not get very sharp. Ended up getting rid of it. Sorry!

THE BOX SAYS: OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.

Not sure what "mechanically stabilized" means, but it does have optical image stabilization. What I can tell you is that I love the camera and actually took amazing pictures while riding on the back of a motorcycle on Tail of the Dragon...both stills and in movie mode.

Mine has a Nikon mount - but, no, it did not come with image stabelization. Your focal lengths are short enough that paired with an appropriate shutter speed, you should get crisp shots. Or, when in doubt, use a tripod. Not having that feature is one of the reasons it was cheaper

When I bought this it came without an operating system. I installed XP, but you can choose whatever suits. BTW its a great little computer. I mounted it to the back of a monitor. Very compact.

Unfortunately it's got nothing - no optical either. I was pretty disappointed after my purchase, and returned it as soon as I realized my mistake.

They say it has Intelligent image stabilization (IS). I don't see anything that says optical bit I believe the "IS" in the model number is optical. I found a video about it here along with other videos about the camera Go here for more info. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_elph_115_is#Features

It does NOT come with OS installed. You have to install your own OS, (Linux, Windows). I am not sure if they have a version that comes with pre-installed OS.
