The horizontal and vertical axes are when the camera moves up and down or left and right. The difference is that sensor switching can also counteract rotational movement, and in fact most image stabilization technology is sensor-based and works on five axes: horizontal, vertical, roll, pitch, and yaw. Gyro sensors inside the camera detect movement and send the information to actuators that move the camera’s image sensor in the opposite direction. While the technology itself is quite sophisticated, the concept is very simple: the sensor moves to counter camera shake, similar to the floating element in lens-based stabilization. Hardware image stabilization generally works through sensor switch technology. The second disadvantage is the cost, as each lens must be equipped with its own image stabilization system rather than this technology being integrated into the hardware of the camera itself, and the cost of the lenses is higher. This technology also has some disadvantages, such as that it can only counteract the effect of movement in the horizontal and vertical axes, which means that no form of rotation effect can be detected or stabilized. For example, the automatic focus of a camera is more precise when the image is already stabilized, and also while you take the image you will also see it already stabilized, which allows you to better capture the details of the image or video that you are going to take beforehand otherwise, you would see a more shaky and poorly detailed image when you take it. This type of image stabilization has some advantages over that built into the hardware, especially at longer focal lengths and older DSLR cameras. Many lenses often incorporate a panorama mode that allows stabilization only in the vertical axis to allow stable panoramic images, but has no effect in the horizontal axis. Vibration (or camera shake) is detected by gyroscopic sensors, and the lens is moved accordingly to mitigate the effects. Lens-based image stabilization works through an element called a floating lens.

Enabling a slower shutter means better image quality because you can use a lower ISO value (less noise). The benefit is that it allows you to capture a photo or video much sharper at a slower shutter speed or without a tripod that keeps the camera still. Regardless of the name, the technology has the same effect and is similar across all manufacturers.
