the sensor on the 7D moves about 1cm at maximum. that is a lot of movement.
i doubt it will work on the DA lenses unless their image circle is much
larger than the nominal.

On Image Stabilization achieved by moving the sensor, some questions:
1. How good is it? One is using the edge of the lens.
2. Will it work with DA lenses with their narrower image circle?
And related:
3. Is this why the forthcoming "high-performance telezoom" will be a D FA?
Reasoning: image stabilization is needed most of all for telephoto shots,
and a D FA lens has more unused edge glass than does a DA lens.
