it has been done that way. you lose the outer edges of the sensor area, and of course, your image processor has to be fast enough to keep up. DSLR ones aren't, so far.

You could produce a 5MP image from a 6MP sensor by using the extra pixels to shift the image. You'd need to measure the movement of the camera, which could be done using a sensor of some sort in the body, or could conceivably be done by measuring the movement of the image on the CCD. This could mean that IS could be added to the *istD by a firmware upgrade.
