"What if you use a fast lens? An F 1.2 prime plus the claimed 2.5-4 stops gives F 0.5 or better."
I don't know if anyone has tested Pentax's claims for SR, but in in my experience it does indeed give you a big boost in low-light capability. A few weeks ago I posted a link to an experimental K10D photo I took at night with no streetlights--full moon on snow. The settings were ISO 1600, 1/8 second handheld with SR on, at F1.2 on the A50 F1.2. It worked. But rather than thinking in terms of extra light-gathering by your lens (which is not actually what happens) it is better to think of the gain in shutter speed steps.
