Cool - I've got to get me some of them. Those are the best from
what I've read because the use an active gyro system I believe
while Nikon and Canon use the wet bag system which isn't as
relilable as I understand it.


Practical Sailor rated the Fujinon stabilization technology best in
class, way ahead of everyone else. It certainly is impressive to
press the button and all of a sudden everything is steady as a rock.


I've used stabilized models before, their probably fine on a sail
boat, under sail, but on a power boat, moving around a lot, they were
useless.
