It does stink with regards to the inbody IS. Ok I accept that it may work better on the lens, but they have so many lenses minus IS. Put the IS on the camera, let us turn it off for pro lenses with better IS on the lens if that’s the case. Meanwhile they throw it on every compact, so it’s an effective technology just sitting on the shelves (when it comes to DSLRs)

Funny, I’d never heard of this camera.

I *so* wish f***ing Nikon/Canon would get on the in-body stabilization wagon, so we could *really* exploit those superfast primes they have. (I have Canon’s 85mm 1.2. Man, what a lens!

Resident curmudgeon is right. But seriously, I’d never think to go ISO 400 on a regular basis on a compact camera, hence my interest in the DP2 and E-P1. (Keeping in mind I own a 5D Mark II, so I have keen interest in ISO performance in general)

Sorry to be the resident curmudgeon but look at page 5 of the review. ISO 400 (of which the review mildly says, “There are signs of noise reduction at 400 ISO, with some loss of fine detail”) looks like a WATERCOLOUR! Compared to your other recent infatuations – the DP2 and EP-1 – this looks like garbage.
