SSS is just fine. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
Because you can have stabilization with any lens. For many years I've been buying lenses when one of the prime advantages I looked for was stabilization. If you have SSS (or something alike <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) you can always have it.

I know you can always have it... but thing is, it just is not always needed or useful. It would be just about last on *my* list of things to look for. Two lenses with IS would be enough for me: A longer tele with IS and a standard zoom with IS. Primes would get used by me for their wide apertures, not for IS need.
Same with video with AF... It is a specs list thing, not a thing to use. If you want AF with video, you better have a big DOF, else it will drive the viewer of the video crazy. But for big DOF video, just get a camcorder. DSLR video is for the creative, not the homevideo shooter.
