Getting to grips with all the terms and ***** that go with DSLR photography can be just as daunting, if not more so than trying to get to grips with audio terminology. I found this blog to be very helpful, especially getting to know simple things like the different brands codes for image stabilization etc.

This in particular was handy for me when browsing 'For Sale' ads

Canon ? Image Stabilization (IS)
Nikon ? Vibration Reduction (VR)
Sigma - Optical Stabilization (OS)
Tamron ? Vibration Compensation (VC)
Leica ? MegaOIS
Pentax ? Shake Reduction (SR)

Handy blog found here

Please all you enthusiasts, add some useful links here as well

Thanks
