What kind of image stabilization

I've used it frequently in it's underwater mode while snorkeling here off the coast the Gulf of Aden in the Horn of Africa, and well, I've been extremely pleased while trying to take pictures of lionfish and stingrays, it's served it's purposed and despite the strong currents, the images it captures have been great and superb for a hand held camera it's size.

Nikon refers to image stablization as Vibration Reduction. The 110 hasLens-shift and Electronic VR (still pictures) Lens-shift VR (movies)Motion Detection (still pictures) and blur reduction. Ultimately though it comes down to is great ISO range. It can handle lower light with higher shutter speeds, reducing the need for image stabilization. Although not as good as a high end DSLR.

No, but if you buy the FE lenses by Sony they will have Image Stabilization built into the lens.

Hmmm....the images are so stable under even bad lighting that I thought it had image stablilization!

This camera does have optical image stabilization per Imaging-Resource's review "Maximum aperture starts off at a f/3.2, and falls to f/5.8 by the tele position. Optical image stabilization is included in the design." You may have to turn it on in one of the options in the menu.

I think you mean "image stabilization"? Yes, it does have an image stabilization option. The lens has a fast aperture of f/1.8 (meaning the lens opens wide to let in a lot of light) which can enable shooting in low light conditions with a decent shutter speed such that image stabilization may not be as critical as on other cameras.

Just as NLee said -- in general, the in-camera stabilization is cheaper while optical lens stabilization is more effective. Canon and Nikon have released some relatively inexpensive optically stabilized consumer lenses, however, and various third-party lens manufacturers have also started adding OS to their more popular lenses as well as some longer telephotos. In-lens optical stabilization technology is starting to get cheaper and more common.

No. Canon does offer one with image stabilization, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive. You can google Canon lenses & see it & read its specs.

Just to expand Marty's point a bit... With a non-image stabilized camera, the rule of thumb for a 4/3 camera is to use a shutter speed of 1/(2 X FocalLength) sec or faster in order to avoid camera shake blurring. With the E-500 and a 200mm lens, you would need to shoot handheld at a shutter speed of 1/400 sec or faster in order to avoid camera shake blurring. With the E-620 and a 200mm lens with image stabilization engaged, however, you could use a shutter speed of 1/100 sec or possibly as slow as 1/50 sec. Note that image stabilization will not stop blurring from subject motion.

In practice, it means your ISO needs to be a bit higher than it would with a stabilized lens in some cases. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me.I find that the stabilization with the EM5 is helpful at times, but it doesn't do anything to help with motion blur from moving subjects for example. The gm1 is the camera I reach for most often and the lack of stabilization isn't really even a consideration for me.

It does not have optical image stabilization but does have digital stabilization. For a cam with optical image stabilization you are going to have to spend more $.

no, this lens is not image stabilized. it is a good lens, very sharp but quite pricey.

No, it does not have image stabilization. The optics are far better than the kit lens and I've been very happy with the images.

Any comments on the SteadyShot® image stabilization w/ Active mode as compared to the Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/ Active mode (Wide to Tele) as found on the HDR-CX300? I am concerned that the stabilization on the CX150 will not be adequate...any comments?

In the SETTINGS you can choose ISM Mode (Image Stabilizer Mode). You can always download the user manual at the flwg link : http://content.abt.com/documents/23340/sx20is_use.pdf - hope this helps!

No, you will have no stabilization. You will, however, have a fast focusing outfit, usable for flying birds. The shutter speeds you need for that are so high that stabilization doesn't matter. I recommend this combination. If you get a second body, get a GX7 or Oly body to get the stabiization.

For the GX7, lens optical image stabilization will override in body stabilization. The in body stabilization will be used when the lens contains no built in stabilization. Page 203 of the pdf users manual includes a chart detailing this behavior.

Yes. The alpha6000 does not have built-in "sensor-shifting" image stabilization. This means if you want image stabilization it must be included in the lens. I think the Sony advertises this as Optical SteadyShot or having OSS technology.As an aside, it is more difficult to implement built-in image stabilization into cameras with large sensors without greatly increasing the body size, because the distance the sensor would need to travel for the stabilization effect increases with its size. I think this is why Sony is choosing to keep stabilization in the lens.
