I don't have this feature in my cam or lense either, but from what I've read the answer is emphaically YES! (and no) It will definately help you take a clear picture and slower shutter speeds, in darker conditions, etc. Richard highlighted the key points. However, it is not a perfect technology, and will not eliminate all blur, or let you handhold the cam in all situations. If you want that a little extra help getting clearer photos when it is not easy to use a tripod, then this is the technology for you. If you want to insure that your image is as clear as can be, use a tripod.
