Best Buy is a collection of morons selling to morons.
Think the 3 Stooges gone high tech.

Actually, with my Z10 at least, it IS software shake reduction. That was
a disappointment. When you take a shot, and chimp it, shaking hands will
appear in the image to indicate that you have the option of applying
"shake reduction" to that image. The firmware determines a degree of blur
to present you with this info, but does nothing about it. You can go back
later and preview the images marked with the shaking hands, preview what
they will look like corrected, and either apply it or not. There is also
a SR shooting mode where the SR will be done as you shoot, but it avoids
using SR by upping the ISO to levels that make the shots look terrible,
and no longer under your control. The manual says SR is best accomplished
by using a tripod.
I wasn't clear in my original post. I was referencing the then current K10
DSLR at Best Buy, and was told that it didn't matter if it was an SLR or
not, if it was Pentax it was "software shake reduction"
