is that not though the very nature of what IS lenses do? focus on the scene 
and hold it steady, ostensibly i guess, by picking points in the scene and 
moving the image (or the sensor) so that those points are always hitting the 
same place on the ccd during the length of the exposure?

has anyone done any tests on this?

The rangefinder always gives the shooter an advantage by simple fact
that there is no blackout and you can hold more still then. The body
won't "wander" as much while you're looking through the VF of the
rangefinder as it would if you were watching a blacked out VF.

I just wish that Canon had taken their excellent EOS 1N RS pellicle
mirror system and implemented it in their digital line. Then they'd
have the best of both worlds, so to speak.
