Peter, No personal attacks meant by my post. Watching the sensor move was illustrative. But I don't thnk it proved anything. My confidence in Shake Reduction was undermined by all this. I couldn't feel the camera DOING anything. That's why I did the test and made the side by side post. I can't feel thing but I can sure see results! Regards, Bob S.
