Shake it Baby, Shake it.

To Oly User,

Heard that the new two DSLR of Oly are going to launch with IS (Image Stabilitize) function. Model are E-3 and E-500.
Dunno it is crossing over to KM or not???

On top of that I am unsure what extra feature it is going to install...

I would hope that it does improve NOISE problems a lot and transfer rate too.
And hopefully that it is not more 12MP, to me too much is over kill liao.


To End this, it is a rumour afterall.

u heard the rumour or starting one ? hehehe

[koolz]

Me too heard the rumors from Dpreview.

IS = BATTERY SUCKER

imo, an Olympus system with its fast f2.0 zooms and IS inbuilt into the camera will be amazing.

yeah surely will be amazing that you see the price tag and you faint

This rumour is running around for sometime, but nothing confirmed yet. Oly did announce 2 DSLRs, whether the body's will have integral IS is still ???

IS definetely will make E sys very competitive choice sports & wildlife.
2X crop factor + Fast lens + Clean high ISO + IS

This probably a reason why E1 stocks is "dumped" at such low prices in NZ.
Hope it'll come true.

Still way cheaper than the likes of D2X and D1MK2. So I will be happy, especially if the rumoured E-300 replacement has those capabilities and one can always still afford the best and fastest macro lens in the market, the ZD f2.0 50mm.

I will be happy even if half of those rumoured features turn out to be true.

U cant compare the replacement of E300 with D2x or D1mk2, but can do with the replacement of E-1, coz they are pro stuff. Oh another thing nobody knows whats the price will be for E-2/3, might be around what D2x is selling for now.

[tao]

nah, i was comparing the replacement for E-1 to the D2X and gang.

believe that the E-1 replacement will still be competitively priced compared with the D2X and if it really has IS built in, it will be a killer all-weather pro camera.

after all, when the E-1 appeared initially, it was already the cheapest pro camera in the market.

but anyway, the replacement for the E-300 seems to be sounding good, at least according to rumours, just solve the high ISO issue, jpeg prob and add in IS and I might just grab one to upgrade.

no la bro, noise is not easy to tackle in a tight packed ccd, coz ccds produce random noise, than patterned noise from cmos. only can come up with a good noise supression algorithm for jpegs straight out of the cam is all. Yeah IS will be a good feature but it will push the price steeply. Me looking at the E2/3

[Merciless_Knight]

Bariq is rite. CCD got the behaviour of random noise.

As far I noe noise supression is not done on the CCD side is more on the IC chip that built in in the Camera itself. To frankly said, it is the Mircocontroller.

Let hope that this IC chip got a better transfer rate, much higher buffer, and more better and complex ALU co-processor.

[tao]

but the super-CCD from Fujifilm (esp the F10's) is defying all that you guys have mentioned in terms of noise. so i still think that technology will always improve and same goes for CCD high ISO performance.

Agreed todays barriers are tomorrow reality. I hope they come up with ccd/cmos or any stuff which gives decent pics at higher iso, for me price is a big factor as i do photography as hobby but not as a profession.

yeap can switch it off.

but the $$$$ will blow U away.

not necessarily lah. with progress of technology, if IS is inbuilt like AS system we see in Minolta's DSLRs and digicams, it can be implemented economically.

but then, maybe IS, if it appears will only be in E-1 replacement. cheapskaters like me won't be able to afford it.

of course if it appear as a 'free' feature in E-300 upgrade, that will be a real killer!

[NMSS_2]

definitely need the IS to solve my "shaky hands" problem.
