Solid stabilization

Deliberately a little underexposed, we captured this shot of a fruit stand at 1/30 second, f/5.6, ISO 400, with the lens zoomed to an equivalent of 128mm. The SP-550UZ's mechanical image stabilization kept the image relatively sharp, despite the fact that our shutter speed was two stops slower than the 1/125-second lower limit we'd normally use. The 100-percent-view crop (inset) can give you a sense for the noise that you'll encounter at ISO 400.
