does this have image stabilization

No, it does not. I prefer the lower weight of a non-IS lens, and for doing high school sports (including night football), IS would be totally useless to me.

Yes ,the lens has a "floating" housing for the image stabilization to work. the lens will always wooble as you say. There is no problem.

Nope, it doesn't. For wide angle lenses is not common to have that feature.When in doubt, check the coding in the name. If it has an 'IS' it means it has Image Stabilization.

Hi Craig J., I don't know if it has image stabilization. I returned it the same week. The closure on the lens would not open properly, after only taking one picture. I did some research and found out it was a common problem with this particular nikon camera.

Hi John, Yes, you may turn off Optical Steady Shot/ Image Stabilization on your camcorder. Vincent

The 18-55mm lens does have image stabilization as indicated by the "IS" in the kit description. The 75-300mm lens does not, it is best to use the tripod for this lens.

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.

Only if you're using it for video. One can shoot without stabilization if on a tripod, steadycam or even possibly a monopod. Video shot handheld will be unwatchable. Still photography should be unaffected by the lack of image stabilization.

No it does not because it's a cinema camera but it does have amazing focus peaking features that work with every lens. Popular opinion is get the MFT mount but I disagree - you can never underestimate what Image Stabilization with lenses helps achieve.

Don't know if this cam has optical image stabilization. I gave the camera to my daughter for a Christmas gift.

sorry, did not see this until now. Hope you bought the lens - awesome. It has image stabilization 3 choices off and 2 on's. one for vertical and one for horizontal movement. Here are some butterflies I photo'd with it. www.patricialamphotography.com/flowers/flowers (yes twice on flowers) first 3 photos. very sharp. Wish my Canon 85 mm f1.4 and 24-70 f2.8 had image stabilization. Sorry for the delay

No, the body does not have image stabilization. Some of the lens do...the kit lens does but it isn't an ordinary kit lens. It is a superb piece of equipment.

1) Yes it does have image stabilization. If you look closely at the display picture on Amazon, you can see there is a "switch" for image stabilization right under the AF/MF focus switch.2) I do believe it is compatible with the Canon EOS 550D. I am judging by the fact that this is an EF-S lens and the 550D can mount that type of lens. If you go to Canon (http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_550D/#p-specification22) you'll see under Specification >> Accessories, it lists that "All EF and EF-S lenses" are supported.Don't for get to mark that this was helpful, if it was :) good luck 1) Yes it does have image stabilization.

No it does not...I am an old time photographer and it works great for me...and if I need more stabilization that I get from me....I use my tripod.

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.

Image Stabilization (IS) is a feature associated with lenses. When looking at the Canon lenses if it has IS, it has image stabilization. The 7D does work with IS enabled lenses.

Hi Pen, The kit lens has an image stabilization feature called Optical SteadyShot. -Anthony
