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

You can turn off the camera image stabilization for tripod use or using a lens with image stabilization.

This camera offers digital stabilization, which is not nearly as effective as optical stabilization. This camera does NOT offer optical stabilization, only digital.

No. I'm using it with an Olympus with image stabilization built into the camera.

It does not have temperature. Also, image quality is poor if that helps your decision.

Yes, but the shutter speed isn't very fast. If something moves past it quickly it misses it.

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.

The Lumix has OIS built into the lens, so you'll get stabilization with Panasonic bodies that lack stabilization in the body.

Yes, it has Image Stabilization, but even so do not use hand held at sloe speeds.

Yes but it's an electronic stabilization, not as effective as more sophisticated techniques. Still better than nothing. Even more expensive camcorders of Panasonic/JVC range use the same technique according to my knowledge.

Great picture quality in natural light, low light is OK but stabilization is terrible.

The picture shows that the camera is night vision but it's not. The camera in NOT night vision.

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.

Hi D. Scuderi, This feature is in the Alpha A-mount camera body. The SAL18250 lens does not have the image stabilization feature. Hope this helps. - Omar
