Default Are IS lenses doomed ?

One slightly ironic point is that so far all the sensor-stabilised cameras
have been 1.5X APS factor. [ . . . ]


Off topic for the thread, but this is the first time I've seen that term,
"APS factor," used. I think it's a very good one, much better than the
common "crop factor" (and variants) which I have always objected to on the
grounds that nothing is actually being cropped, and even if it were, nothing
is being *multiplied* by the so-called crop and the 1.5x or other number
given is obviously a multiplier.

"APS factor" is very good.
