I imagine it's like the Pentax as in the 'image stabilization' refers to automatically boosting the ISO when conditions dictate it. I chose the Pentax over the Olypus a while back because I read the Os had a long lag time on the shutter and I didn't want to have to switch memory cards. If they live up to their rugged claims, I might change my mind next time.

Digital image stabilization just means the camera shoots at a high ISO and high shutter speed. Because of the small sensor, images shot with a high ISO are noisy.

Like alot of small cameras the controls are small and the lcd screen style viewfinder is annoying. However, cry me a river, the Olympus Optio 770SW that I have takes acceptable pictures and rides in a cordura pouch on my PFD. It has gone through?very stiff?holes and pretty decent surf. It's battery consumption on a 15 day trip with no recharge was exactly 2 batteries for 385 frames, no movies and no editing. I had 3 so I should have shot more film, but oh well. Overall, I find it an excellent value. Cheers, Rob G Interesting that it describes some "Digital Image Stabilisation", and it the specs table it says "Image Stabilization: No".
