Image Stabilizer Lens for Nikon?

My friend has a Canon SLR with an Image Stabilizer lens. She claims that she can take clear pictures in low light without a flash. Is there one that I can buy for my Nikon D50? Thanks!

Nikon calls their equivalent Vibration Reduction technology. Look for the lenses with "VR" in the model name.

Of course it works...but its meant for things such as shooting from a moving vehicle.

They are not cheap...my 70-200 VR was around 1500 with rebates.

What you want, for what you are doing is a tripod.
