I think they're solving a problem that doesn't exist. #ricohgxr

This is definitely Ricoh suave, NOT!!!

I just wrote Ricoh to put a BIG sticker on the boxes: "not recommended for peoples with shaky hands"
Jokes aside, who need stabilization in a compact camera with a fast wide prime lens?

I think they'll get along just fine with their f/1.9.

Could it be that you don't know what you're sayinig?

Since it's obvious 'you' don't know what you're talking about, I'll clarify @mullingitover's point ... larger aperture, higher ISO, lens stabilisation, and sensor compensation will all contribute to higher shutter speeds (which in turn reduce blurry images). It's like a big see-saw, go contemplate it on the playground.

It really doesn't matter how fast the lens is. Image stabilization is needed in low light when you hand held. OK? What part of that do you not get?

The fact of the matter is that IS is not the end-all be-all of camera features. While nice to have in some situations (like shooting from wooden rollercoasters or from inside the space shuttle) most of the time you're just fine without it.
If you're trying to shoot hand-held in low light conditions (without a strobe, I'm guessing, since that would remove the need for IS altogether) and hoping for a nice crisp shot you're either too poor to afford a tripod or too dense to know that you should be using one.
