Some anti-shake systems are lens-based so to benefit from the technology, you are restricted to certain lenses. But SteadyShot INSIDE is actually built into the α body, shifting the image sensor to compensate for camera shake in real time.
So blur is dramatically reduced whatever lens you are using, from a wide-angle to a long telephoto.
With SteadyShot INSIDE switched on, you have 2.5 to 3.5 stops (2.5 to 4 stops with the α700 and α 900) advantage over a system without. Which means even shots that would normally require the use of a tripod or flash can be taken handheld.
