Sure, if you don't want the best ;-) Olympus holds that trophy.
In all seriousness though, Sony's IS is pretty good, just not quite as effective as Olympus's.
Various manufacturers have capable Image Stabilization systems. My Pentax system let me down only when I over-stated length of the lens I was using, so it was exaggerating its corrections.
I use a monopod with a plain screw mount to support my 4.65-crop Pentax Q-7 when I use it with a 70-300mm lens.
