IS is in some of the lenses. Bob, I like IBIS as much as the next
Pentaxian, but let me tell you my practical experience. I'm able to
regularly shoot the 30mm handheld at 1/15s and get sharp shots; the
small size, low weight, light shutter and lack of flapping mirror all
contribute to making it a much more stable shooting camera than a
DSLR. That said, I usually shoot at speeds faster than 1/100s, where
IS wouldn't help me anyway. I think Samsung's reasoning was: "Shooting
a 30mm f/2 wide open should give them fast enough shutter speeds that
they won't need IS. If they use a slow-ass zoom kit lens, then we'll
put the IS in the lens to help them out." I'm currently testing the
16mm f/2.4 and its also highly usable wide open, making f/2.4 at 1/8s
shots possible.
I'm not defending leaving out IBIS, I'm just saying that its absence
has been much less of a hinderance in real-world usage than I thought
it would be before I started using the camera. In fact, until you
mentioned it here, I hadn't even considered its lack as an issue when
reviewing the NX20 specs.
My 2 cents.
