IBIS wont compensate for the small sensors in their cams in ordinary photography. It can to an extent. Depends on the subject. If I can shoot a stationary object two stops ISO lower because of stabilization than the larger sensor competition, I equal them. Well, most photogs have to have gear that can capture moving objects... -- teleportation kills |

Although I might disagree with "most", personally I find a small MFT camera and lens more responsive to movement than a bulky full-frame system. As a Panasonic GX7 user, I do find the G9 too big. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

It's not about that the camera moves but that the subject does. If you need 1/125s to freeze a moving subject than you need that 1/125s with or without IS. -- teleportation kills |

I was thinking more tracking race cars at a circuit or rapidly moving sea-craft! There the blurred background can add to the impact of the image. Most of my other photography I could class as "stills", no animals or children making irregular and unpredictable movements. I was pleased with some recent results photographing stars from a moving ship: https://twitter.com/gm8arv/status/915619281060220928 Panasonic GX7, electronic shutter, in-body image stabilisation, ISO 3200. 0.77s f/1.7 20mm "pancake" lens (40mm equiv.). -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Most of my other photography I could class as "stills", no animals or children making irregular and unpredictable movements. If you were thinking of tracking race cars at a circuit, to add a blurred background you don’t need IBIS, OIS, VR, OS, IS, etc. All you need is to use a well practiced horizontal panning technique which has been in use long before digital was imagined. Just the horizontal panning movement imparts a degree of stabilization while tracking the moving target. You are actually better off turning off all image stabilization, even though some systems, like that found in the latest Nikkor VR lenses, claim to detect panning motion and compensate for it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9mganvz46g6tb2/DNC4352.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/mdsoz9gu493nbmp/DNC5067Aw.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

I still find a smaller camera easier to pan than a large one. Nice action images! And even with relatively short focal length lenses I find IS helpful especially in low-light conditions, so I welcome any improvement in that area. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Uh.....no. When you can hand hold that wide for a couple of seconds and get a sharp shot, well, it's hard to argue against the usability of IBIS. |
