Precisely. (It can also rotate in the plane of the sensor, around the axis of the lens, to correct for twisting the camera; this is something that in-lens image stabilsation can't do. But this is a much smaller contributor to camera shake; almost all the corection consists of up/down/left/right

MJ quotes Canon claiming that in-body SR is no good for long lenses, because it would require the sensor to move by 1/4 of an inch. They are talking of course about full frame 35mm. The required movement would presumably be rather less on an APS-C sensor. John On Sun, 10 Dec 2006 23:04:31

John, The movement required would be the same for say a 500mm lens independent of sensor size - a point in the middle of the sensor would still move the same distance with the same angular displacement of the camera/lens combination. Still I am impressed with getting a fair proportion of my

Rod, I think I'd have to disagree with this. For sure if you comapre like focal lengths what you say is true, but it is surely better to comapre like FOV, in which case the K10D has a 1.5x advantage over a full frame moving sensor system. Eric. On 11/12/06, Rod Connan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

The sensor will move through the same angle for any given lens, but as the APS-C sensor is smaller than a 35mm sensor, the distance travelled by the edge that is furthest from the fulcrum will be shorter. John On Mon, 11 Dec 2006 11:00:23 -, Digital Image Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The SR is (mostly) done by a translation, not a rotation; that has the same amount of travel for all the parts of the sensor (and does not depend on sensor size). There is no fulcrum. On Mon, Dec 11, 2006 at 11:54:28AM -, John Forbes wrote: The sensor will move through the same angle for
