It was the sensor! The Minds at Minolta might have something! It seems silly to load a lens with all sorts of hardware to move heavy glass elements when a simpler system to move a lightweight sensor would be more energy efficient and might operate more quickly. The downside is whether the platform for the sensor might be more susceptible to impact damage, even from a minor 'bump'. Also- the system allows the use of older lenses and still lets one have the advantage of stabilization. Interesting indeed!
