Hi John -

Which Sony has image stabilization?

You got me I stand corrected.

It wasn't the Sony - it was the Konica Minolta Z2 that had the IS - the one you said I should look at.

I've looked at tooooo many cameras at this point. The choice is getting overwhelming, that's why I'm trying to at least narrow it down to about 2.....

I'll definitely check out the DMC FX7 and the Minolta again - which is where I found the IS before. OK.......then the next question. Which is the better option. The Mega OIS or...the Panasonic.

I'll be back with more thoughts, decisions or questions.

Thanks.

It is sort of large for a second, point-and-shoot camera. But it, and its predecessor were both on the PCPhotoREVIEW.com top ten list for months. It's a proven design. Panasonic has other cameras with their "MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer" technology. Take a look at the 5 megapixel Lumix DMC-FX7. It's much smaller and may be more in line with what you're looking for.

You should also look at Konica Minolta cameras. They have their own, "Anti Shake," system. It moves the camera sensor instead of lens elements. Acording to the reviews it works very well. And it's available in smaller cameras as well as their top-of-the-line stuff.
