Yes, what you're seeing looks silly, but that's because it is incredibly exaggerated to produce measurable, consistent data. The custom-built stabilization rig is very similar to what manufacturers use to test these features during development.

The truth is, what you see is accurate: the HV40 does not have effective image stabilization.

The Stabilization is TERRIBLE!

I own this camera, and while this example is somewhat exaggerated, the image stabilization on the HV40 is next to worthless. I shoot a lot of driving POV shots using a tripod set-up in my car. When using a Sony camcorder this results in footage which is smooth as glass. The Canon however jitters and quakes and records footage which is next to useless.
