I think it really depends on what you're shooting. I wouldn't go
without my monopod to a baseball game because my arms would get tired
from holding the damned camera up, and the shutter speeds are fast
enough (because of the movement of the players and the ball) that I
don't know how much of a difference anti-shake would make, but I really
do appreciate the anti-shake mechanism in my little point and shoot,
because I don't have to bring a monopod to shoot in a dark-ish location
with a pocketable camera.
I would be very entertained by a camera not too much bigger than the DS
with an anti-shake mechanism combined with some small lenses.
