IS Lenses (Canon's for example) contain movable optical elements that are used to compensate for camera shake. A tiny sensor controls their movement to cancel-out the monitored shake and, as a result, produce a sharper image. They are therefore more expensive than regular lenses and some DSLR manufacturers have instead opted for in-body stabilization (Sony for example).
