Re: In-camera/In-lens IS

Which is better? I got a Sony Alpha 350 for Xmas, with 2 lens that don't
seem to have IS. The 18-70 and the 75-300.

According to the manual, it is in the camera. Is there any difference in
quality?

I have to buy CF cards for it, which is surprising, since I thought all
Sonys used only MS cards.Probably have to go to Ebay for a MS/CF adapter
for it if I want to use memory sticks. Thanks!

The Sony cameras are, at heart, Minolta. Sony have not removed CF capability as CF is what most photogs use.

In camera anti-shake is not as effective as in-lens IS/VR. You can expect 2 stops (maybe a bit more) of effectiveness v. 3 - 4 stops with in-lens IS/VR.

Advantage is that all Sony (Minolta) lenses will benefit from the anti-shake.
