This is probably more of an amateur feature, but does this camera have image stabilization?

Image stabilization is not amateur at all. The XA20 features both optical and sensor based IS, as well as the "Dynamic IS" mode, which means both at the same time. The results with Dynamic IS on the XA20 are some of the best I've seen in 18 years of shooting. Using the top handle, I'm able to get shots that look like they were taken with a full stabilizer rig. The zoom on the XA20 is VERY long, so you'll probably still need a tripod at full zoom, but even there I've captured viable shots freehand at full zoom.

Read this review it does mention that this lens does have "image stabilization".....hope this helps... http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/tamron-18-270mm-3p5-6p3-vc-pzd

I've read several posts/reviews that confirm that it has image stabilizer, but if it does, it is modest in effect; and, I suppose it should be, otherwise like YouTube's strong image stabilizer, the video can become very distorted looking with significant image stabilization.

It has a image stabilizer and if youre talking about advance what kind of advance like motion detection?!is!?I still would recommend it but if you want a advance one id recommend the JVCGZ-HD10U I love both cameras!! perfect for attaching fisheye and filming skate and travel trips

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.

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

No, but I would not recommend this camera. The pictures always turned out blurry. If you read other reviews, they would agree with that.

Nope, it has a quick shutter lag speed, I believe it's called. This was the number one priority for me too when researching cameras. I'm happy with this one. It also takes good pics in low light on the right setting and good action shots. Very happy with the camera for the price and size.

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

No, therefore IN-camera stabilization is required. I am using on a Panasonic GX7 which does.

All the NEX models have NO built in image stabilization. Stabilization is built into the E-mount lenses.

Susan, the anser is "yes" and "no". This camera has lenses with image stabilized capability, and the camera has modes to help with motion stability, but it's not the same as the lens stabilization.

It does have an image stabilizer but only on the 18-35 mm lens. The longer 75-300 lens does not and would require the tripod to get a more stabilized photo.

No image stabilization or UM--it is a plain jane lens, my wife decided to stick with her 250mm IS lens instead--she loved the camera and kit though

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

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.

Sorry, the J28 doesn't have optical image stabilization. It just raises the shutter speed... and probably the ISO (giving you a noisier and more grainy image in the process). In general, any camera that offers "anti-blur mode" doesn't actually use optical or sensor based image stabilization.
