I have the w20 (just got it...) and it is a nice camera - the shake reduction is not the same as image stabilization - basically what it does is to crank the ISO sensitivity up higher if needed. see: >Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode that reduces camera shakes and >blurring of the subject when photographing still images. The >sensitivity is adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh >sensitivity of ISO 3200, to match the brightness of the subject. >This enables for photography with fast shutter speeds, and images >with less blurs can be obtained. The w30 looks like a small but nice improvement. I have had the original 33WR for several years and have been very pleased with its use as a paddling camera. It has rolled with me and been in the surf several times. Mike At 11:27 AM 22/02/2007, you wrote: >Just announced and looks pretty impressive on specs.
