Since there's no single definite answer yet - another clue. This time this is the pair of images in same sequence , but HS30 is zoomed to the max of 720mm (no intelligent zoom though), and Canon T2i presented by cropped image from 75-300mm lens at equivalent focal length of 480mm. To make conditions even - no stabilization at all, in both images. So which is which in images 1 and 2?

Stabilization makes things even, statistically speaking, since it raises the probability that each image will be fairly sharp.

By not using stabilization, you raise the probability of one of the images being unsharp, thus reducing the likliehood that things are "even" ...

So I don't see the point.

Actually, this ground has been stomped over ad nauseum ... I am wondering what specific purpose the thread is meant to serve?
