Image Stabilization

Steve, I am a big Canon fan as well. I purchased the G1 as my third digital camera,
bought a G2 for my brother and my uncle, and purchased an A70 as a pocketable back-up
camera. I also own a Canon Elura video camera. Much of the image stabilization was first
a feature on videocameras and I never knew how this could be done "on the fly" while filming.

I think if you purchase a camera with 10x optical zoom that there is a need for IS.
If you purchase a camera with 2x or 3x zoom, or if the camera can function well
at higher ISO or if you shoot with lenses wide open the need for image stabilization
just isn't there. For this reason it is an extra bell or whistle that doesn't
necessarily sell more cameras.

That is my take on it.
