[OM] Re: E-410 vs E-510 and IS?

[Chuck Norcutt]

I found the comparison interesting.  While not stated as such the 
comparison focal length of 31mm had to have been at a 35mm equivalent 
for each camera since the Panasonic only goes to 16.4mm at max zoom. 
Only the Minolta A2 and the Pentax K10D move the sensor.  It's not a 
surprise that the A2 beats the K10D since it has a lot less mass to 
move.  Since the 4/3 sensor is a bit smaller than the K10D the 4/3 
should have a bit of an advantage on anti-shake... at least in theory. 
But 3 stops for the (relatively) large sensored K10D ain't bad at all.
