IS has to be cheap in a cheap lens. >> A camera system can be more sophisticated and capable, >> with the extra function buried in on board electronics >> and amortized over multiple lenses. > >a lens system can be just as sophisticated and capable, if not more so, >since it can be tuned to the specifics of each lens, not one size fits >all. The inescapable issue is cost. It's more cost effective to put IS in the body than in all thee lenses for a given level of sophistication. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.
