Hi RobAndre - No worries.
I was just curious as to how useful A900 owners were finding the in-camera anti-shake (AS) helpful in stretching the cameras useful ISO limits - the A900 not being knows to be as noise free at higher ISOs as say the 5DII or D3x.
The idea being you could shoot at a lower ISO with the 900 using AS with shorter FL lenses such as the 138/1.8 than you could under the same circumstances at the same ISO using say the 5DII and 135/2 - thus somewhat negating the need for the higher-ISO capabilities (with still subjects of course.) with the 900.
I think it's incredibly useful - it seems to me to give you around 2 stops, which is more than the noise differential . . . but of course, it's only relevant if your Canikon doesn't have IS, and your subject doesn't have the shakes!
