Sony Stabilization

[lisalonewolf]

Have been wondering this for awhile:
How has the auto anti hand shake changed over the years?
I look at my second camera (no, do not count the FD75) the DSC F717 which didn't have any anti handshake...and it was and IS a great camera...to the W1, H1, H5, H50, Alpha 100, Alpha 900 and 850 and wonder how Sony changed it...
When I say How, I mean, Has it been changed much? If so, how?
What was changed?
Sometimes it does not seem as if it has, sometimes it seems if it has devolved.
