Apparently, Olympus has displayed experimental ZD lenses with built-in image
stabilization. The photos I saw, several months ago, showed lenses which
looked nowhere near being ready for production.
I, personally, hope they opt for a built into the body style of stabilizer.
I'd like to have the technology, but not at the expense of having to replace
my growing collection of ZD lenses. Having said that, it's hard to imagine
how Olympus (or Matsushita) could piggy-back the Super Sonic Wave filter
onto an image stabilizer. The resulting unit would probably be fairly large
and cumbersome.

But we can continue to dream - can't we????
