Danteb 0 #1 September 7, 2010 Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with stills cameras featuring in-body stabilization like the sony's. does it effect the image quality any? on a similar subject what about lens's with optical stabilization?

4dbill 0 #2 September 7, 2010 Assuming that you are talking about DSLR HD video.. Now I remember why I shut my Canon lens image stabilization off. For general small movements, it helped a little at 18mm wide angle setting as long as I didn't fly all over on purpose, but since it's optical mechanical stabilization, it induced vibration at certain parts of the footage, at certain angles. I rather have a consistent normal amount of shakes in the footage than mechanically induced vibration at certain parts that I have no control over. It would be interesting to see the results of two DSLR's side-by-side, one with IS on, and the other with IS off. I would do it if I had a second T2i. :) 4DBill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverton2 0 #3 September 7, 2010 ALL optical/mechanical stabilization systems consist of a lens and an actuation system. As an actuation system does not have infinite stiffness the total system is in fact a mass on a spring. Having a mass on a spring the only trick is to find the right frequency to generate occilations. Body position and airstream can easily trigger such an event. Conclusion: OIS can trigger unwanted vibration by design when exposed to the right condition.Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
