Brian,

The Fuji F30 has nothing about image stabilization or vibration reduction in its user manual or website. The Fuji F31fd is advertised as having Picture Stabilization (PS) on its website though. It is a setting on the camera to speed the shutter up.

It in fact does not have a physical image stabilization. Rather it has a software based "stabilization". What it does is adjusts the ISO up (increasing the light sensitivity) allowing the camera to increase the shutter speed -- thus reducing blurry shots. It simply adjusts the balance between shutter speed and ISO in such a way that if favors a faster shutter speed.
