Unaprijed se ispričavam što je tekst na engleskom ali vjerujem da će mnogima pomoći kod izbora aparata. Preneseno sa DPREVIEW

Here at dpreview we're always pleased to see new technological innovations which lead to genuine improvements. However one thing which has become annoying is the increasing use of the label 'Image Stabilization' or 'Anti-Shake' to describe nothing more than a (noisy) high sensitivity mode. In our product database we only give a 'yes' flag to those cameras which implement image stabilization in the true sense, as either stabilization of a lens element or of the sensor itself (on a shifting platform) which allow you to take a blur free shot at slower shutter speeds. Some manufacturers prefix with 'Digital', however to the average consumer this isn't enough to correct what is a misleading and confusing description.

Phil: Turning up the ISO helps to freeze the action (although only if the camera primarily increases shutter speed rather than stopping down aperture) however on the cameras we're talking about here (compacts) sensors are so small that this also means a decrease in image quality thanks to more noise and noise reduction. We would like to see an end to the use of the word 'Image Stabilization' where no physical stabilization mechanism (lens shift or sensor shift) exists, a better description would be 'Low Light mode' or 'High Sensitivity mode'. We get tens of emails a week from confused consumers who assume when they see a label like 'Image Stabilization' or 'Anti-Shake' they are getting optical stabilization.
