To achieve IS/VR/AS, the camera or the lens must be able to detect their own
movement, and obviousely *istD doesn't have any. For this reason, the
firmware idea doesn't work.

Is there any reason IS couldn't be implemented in software? 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.
This is all speculation, and I could be talking rubbish.
Any comments?
