How effective is the image stabilization utility?

I couldn't really tell u I wasn't able to use it but it seemed stable.. but I had to stop using it because it caused my computer to freeze...

The optical image stabilization used for still images is very good. The sensor is an older version of current sensors (this is a $250 body) so it has some noise. The digital stabilization for video is about what one would expect. On a tripod, the camera gives excellent video. Hand-held, it isn't as good as a dedicated video camera (as one would expect). It's a good camera for the price IMO. A nice, impartial review can be found at dpreview dot com. I added an excellent Richard Franiec handgrip to the too-smooth body. (Google him if you're interested).

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

Yes it does. A very sophisticated image stabilization. It can be set in 4 different modes:1.Off2. Auto (both horizontal & vertical stabilization)3. Vertical only for up and down movements4. Horizontal only for panning horizontally.Trust this helps.

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

On the average, no. The advantage of this is ease of use and low profile. Also consider what you're trying to do, you can get motion 'video' from this but it's not super - good enough for the security camera I built - delay is too great to be applicable to most motion needs. It's mainly useful for taking stills whether you make your own handheld camera or put it on a robot. If I were buying again and needed something for motion I'd use a $30 webcam instead but if I just needed stills I'd stick with this.

The Nikon COOLPIX S6300 has Subject tracking which is kind of like image stabilizer, but I don't know if it is exactly the same thing

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

That's the big problem with this camera, there's no image stabilization... Not even for non moving subjects... I have te same issue...I'm very disappointed with this camera and the money I spent on it.

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.

Sorry, this feature is not defeatable. However, most customer have reported a smooth, blur free picture with a natural, film-like image with little or no "soap opera effect".

I use this on disk station and it works fine for me ( surveillance station ) you'll need to set to generic onvif and manually enter compression, resolution, and frame rate to get the most out of the camera

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

Image Stabilization (IS) does NOT help with moving objects... it will ONLY HELP with stationary objects like buildings or a landscape. It will not help take stable pictures of people or kids... in fact, it could lead to blurrier photos of people as the IS algorithm will allow the use of a slower shutter speed... you'll end up with sharp backgrounds and blurry people!! Avoid IS unless you know the consequences. The SD900 should be a great choice.

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

A little. I have used it handheld and on a tripod and I have noticed that if I am not still the image can come out blurry, but as long as you are still the pictures are great!

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.
