So this is how IS works

Panasonic has a pretty cool animation showing how the Mega OIS works on the upcoming Leica lens.

It's much simpler than I thought. Only need to move one tiny lens element. I wonder if Canon's IS works the same way.

Thought I've never seen this kind of animation for the Canon IS system, I have seen "slideshow" like Flash presentations that show essentially the same operation for Canon lenses.

If anything, the Canon stabilizer lens looked even simpler, a single element instead of a two element group as shown in the Kodak design.

Uhmm... I guess that explains why canon includes IS in the lens and not the body..

Here is how Canon says their system works:

You will need to click on Image Stabilizer to see (or click on the link below to see the frame that has the IS flash)

Hope this helps.

And why it can make larger corrections...
