They were a long way down on my list of favourite until I found out they will eat Canetoads.
Better a full bottle in front of me

All Panasonic cameras have an optical image stabiliser or OIS. The OIS compensates for hand shake and camera movement in all four directions, up, down, left and right. A gyro-sensor detects tiny movements of the camera and moves the OIS lens in the opposite direction to steer the image onto the image sensor. This reduces blurred images that would normally occur as a result of camera movement.
The Optical Image stabiliser is particularly effective when taking pictures where you are zoomed in, at a distance from the subject. Using a high magnification (zoom) exaggerates the effect of camera movement causing increased image blurring. OIS compensates for this movement producing a clear picture.
Panasonic were the first to introduce two optical image stabiliser modes into our digital cameras. Mode1 continually tracks the camera movement, even when framing up the shot (before taking the picture). Mode2 only compensates for camera movement when the shutter button is pressed (as the image is captured). -
Just to add my two cents worth:
OIS is (usually?) a lens feature and each manufacturer has a different name, due to patents I think. IS for canon, VR for Nikon, OS for Sigma, and I can’t remember any others.
IBIS moves the sensor to achieve the same thing. The advantage is that you don’t need it built into each lens, and some cameras will use both body and lens stabilisation (if present) together to get the optimum result.
Seems like magic to me.
