I recently bought this
camera from Panasonic. It has image stabilization and is supposedly fast. I say "supposedly" because, during vacation, I took a shot of a cliff diver. By the time I got the shot, the diver was already in the
water. My wife, with her Nikon N90, had fired 4 shots all the way down.
As for the image stabilization feature, it is *really* cool -- and works well. However, for SLRs with large lenses, (like my wife's) this is generally not needed anyway, because the lense can gather enough light quick enough to not have blurring.
