The GoPro & Iphone don't (as far as I know) use mechanics - they work by cropping the image and shuffling the viewed area around in the limits of the sensor electronically. Obviously this is faster and doesn't suffer inertia issues of moving parts - the VR lens assy and its associated gyros in Nikon lenses.
The XL1S does both - it uses a variable prism in the lens followed by image analysis on the CCDs (it has 3).
