How many lenses will resolve detail at that level? It'll be part of their pro line and most pros don't care about cutting-edge DR or ultra-high ISO. I don't know that that's true.

But they do have a need for speed. |

Fortunately many of these photographers benefit from OIS/VR and stabilized gimbals. it was the term inadvertant that I questioned, I'd assume someone in a car traveling and taking photos might know that the camera moves with the motion of what's holding it. While I wouldn't have known that the camera can 'move itself' when on a tripod which is why I turn off the IS on my camon M3 when using a tripod. People don't always realise that when they hold the camera still it might not be a still as they think. As a friend asked me why his video moved about so much, he was filming The Cure in France at a gig with a canon camera with 15X magnification on so he could get some good videos of Robert Smith. When I was in college, my photography teacher studied my entrance portfolio, and told me that I needed to immediately get a good tripod, and use it. That was over 40 years ago; I still have that tripod. While I don't use it as much as I did then, I've learned the tricks of steadying against a tree, sitting on the ground, etc. When I got my first 1200mm lens, I graduated to a larger, heavier tripod. It is amazing how much improvement in sharpness can be due to a steady camera, especially with a longer lens. -- Ken Hart |
