Hi Deb- Image stabilization (IS) won't hurt a camera's digiscoping
capabilities, but likely won't help, either. IS systems work at the camera-
either in the lens or at the sensor, but don't "know" that the camera is
looking through a scope. So movement is countered in the camera itself but
scope shake &/or movement won't be compensated for.
You probably are right that finding a decent camera without IS is essentially
impossible. Some digiscopers turn their IS off, but on cameras that don't have
this option I wouldn't worry about it. Just focus (ha ha) on good digiscoping
technique like getting everything as stable as possible (good tripod,
preferably carbon to minimize vibration, center column not extended, etc.),
using high ISOs to get fast shutter speeds, etc.
Hope this helps- Bill Schmoker, Longmont
