Image stabilization in DSLR

Camera shake is found to be a very big problem even now despite of the camera we use. It is a bigger issue with film SLR users. Many images are thus lost due to camera induced blur resulting in poor exposure or bad focus. Some people just punch their camera’s shutter button which results in blurring the image in most cases. Some photographers feel proud of their clear images captured with the camera hand held with a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second. But they aren’t aware how much clear their picture would have been if they had used a tripod or any other steady aid. Usually photo enthusiasts produce clear image by gaining a support to capture or by capturing at higher shutter speeds. The picture below gives a clear idea on the concept.
The first picture was taken handheld at a relatively high shutter speed. But the hen a tripod as used to capture the same scene, a better image as obtained. But it is not an easy task to always carry a tripod with us despite however compact it may be. So, new options are available now in the latest DSLRs to overcome this disadvantage. Top DSLR manufacturers have introduced Image Stabilization (IS), Vibration Reduction (VR) or Anti-Shake (AS) options to get clear images when shot handheld.
