MyTwoCents 0 #1 June 18, 2007 Hi, is there any verdict on the HC5 versus 7 image stabilization? From a past thread it seems that the hardware is the same, but that the HC5 has the optical stabilizer disabled in favor of a digital one, and vice versa. I'm planning to use this camera for BASE, so I can't handle optical stabilization very well. However, the external microphone input is really attractive in the HC7, so I was hoping if there was a hack available for the HC7 to disable the optical stabilizer. For BASE and skydiving, go with the 5 or the 7? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
