Sony has renamed Minolta's CCD shift Anti-Shake system as 'Super SteadyShot', but the principal is the same.
Anti-Blur
A camera mode that attempts to use a fast enough shutter speed (by upping the ISO) to prevent camera shake.
Using a higher ISO usually results in higher noise in your images.
Image blur caused by camera shake generally occurs with shutter speeds slower than 1/[focal length] in 35mm format equivalent. Nikon’s latest VRII lenses offer the ability to shoot at shutter speeds 4 steps faster.
Motion blur will only affect subjects that move relative to our point of view. In the picture above, the two Segway riders moved relative to my camera view that remained fixed on Alcatraz in the background.

If this lesson whetted your appetite for this topic, you can read the full article on motion photography.
