Kodak bends laws of physics

Read this about their new camera. They've figured out a way to slow
down things like motor racing so you can record the action at a slower
shutter speed.

Optical image stabilization, combined with the advanced, hybrid AF
system (25 selectable points), provides a 2-stop advantage over
non-Image Stabilized systems for better capturing subjects in low
light for both still and video. For instance, if a particular scene
called for at least a 1/500 shutter speed to “stop” the action under
normal circumstances, the EASYSHARE P850 could deliver the same effect
with a much slower 1/125 shutter speed, resulting in a bright yet
crisp image.

That's what happens when you let advertising types write about technical
stuff. About as coherent -- and accurate -- as I probably would be writing
about advertising.
