I remain sceptical about the image quality one can get using the edge of many lenses. Recall the review I posted a few days ago of the DA 50-200. Overall it is pretty good for the price, and I would recommend it for most uses. It is, however, consistently just a bit weak at the edges. What

I'm not crazy about the idea of IS, in body or lens based. Sure, it would be useful for some situations, but it has its limitations from my point of view. What I would *much* rather be able to do is push shutter speed up by having better performance at high ISO. The advantages of this over an
