Herb Chong wrote this in response to my speculation on how image stabilization could be done:
"that's how it's done in Nikon and Canon and how IS binoculars from various vendors work too. software implementations require sensors and image processors far faster than can be reasonably powered right now." I think you misunderstood the context of what I wrote. Canon's IS technology uses an optical pendulum type system and is quite ingenious. I was speculating on the practicality of stabilizing an image by use of accelerometers to measure camera movement so servo motors could compensate for the movement. I believe that method would be difficult to implement and probably wouldn't work very well. This all started with the "why not stabilize the sensor in the body?" Tom Reese
