There is no in-body image stabilization, the only optical image stabilization you'll get will be from the lenses themselves, so if you're using this body with older lenses, you may want to consider either getting a different Nikon body, or getting newer lenses. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Nancy,

I would add that if you're willing to look away from Nikon, there are several other dSLR manufacturers who do offer in-body stabilization. Notably, Pentax offers it on all of their cameras, dSLRs included. Their K10D and K100D Super are capable rivals for the Nikon D40x and Canon 400D, and are often a good deal cheaper.

Thanks, Aditya and Ben. Your input is very helpful.

Ben, does Pentax or Canon have a camera that compares to the Nikon D300, but with the in-body stabilization? Cheaper is nice too, of course.

Nancy, the Pentax K20d, recently released, compares with the Nikon D300 and has in-body stabilization. Currently, it sells for $500 less than the Nikon and it is a 14.1mp camera. There are now many user and magazine reviews.
