What's IS and L glass?

IS stands for image stabilization.

L i believe is just a higher quality glass. I"m sure pappy can elaborate on this.

Thanks, that's what I thought IS was. Is that a rare or common feature on these cameras?

Would like to know more about the L glass...

IS is more and more common, but more expensive. for instance, the canon IS lens, in the same zoom i have with my Tamron, was 600$.

It seems you already HAVE a camera, if you're snapping pictures of your new camera... :p
