I remember my TRV-900 and VX-1000 had only electronic stabilisation 
but they do use motion sensor and not just image processing to detect 
the jitter. that is better than pure electronic stabilisation but not 
as good as optical. I would be surprised if Sony  used optical 
stabilization. If they did, they certainly would talk about it.

I reviewed their site and they say very little about the technique 
they use. Suspect if you ask me...
