Can't see that happening. In camera anti-shake provides (as I understand it) the anti-shake method at image capture. Therefore, you don't see the smoothing out of the image until reviewing the shot on the LCD on the back. Image Stabilisation smoothes the image out as you actually look at it through the lens. This would still be a major selling point to professionals. Viz: a pap on the beach handholding a 400 2.8 trying to get a decent shot of Catherine Z-J's mammaries will still want IS so he can actually discern said mamms from different mamms standing alongside. No use checking after the fact as the mamms may well have been whisked out of range by then. Not to mention other wildlife applications... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
