If you were dealing with digital only, you may be right, moving the sensor could be a better solution, after all, the sensor probably weighs less than the IS element(s) in a lens, thus could be made to move faster with less power draw, plus having the advantage you stated, working with any lens. But since the lenses have to work with film cameras, too, the in-lens IS is the only way to go. It is pretty tough to move the film plane, I'd say. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 7:57 AM Subject: EOS Is in-camera IS the better way?
