Compare sensor base and lens base image stabilization

[zcf]

Interesting info from POP photo magazine, at least we know Sony sensor base image stabilization or SSS is working quite well and comparable to lens base IS/VR. Hope Alpha 700 will be even better , like change a camera will upgrade all your lens

The improvements for lens based varied of course by lens. Most gave 2-3 stops. The best was Nikons 18-200mm f3.5-5,6 D ED AF-S VR: 3-4 Canons best was EF-S 70-200 F/4 IS USM: 2.5-3.5 Some gave considerably less. ........

i believe the olympus and pentax users would disagree with the abv finding...
but then my record was handheld at 1/5 without AS at 17mm

interesting.... conflicts when used both together...

Because they are not programmed to work together. It could be possible in future?

NIKON 18-200vr IS BEST? MAYBE

Hiee pals...

Here is a diagram to show why i think the two OIS + CCD shift solution cannot be stacked
and operated as it is unless they are design to work in a complementary manner or differentialy.
It can however work if the firmware is designed to have both system as a solution.

canon already say they will combined AS-body with IS-lens soon

[junkai21]

soon, we can take 5" of long shutter without tripod

i like AS built in body because it saves money, all lenses mounted on it are "IS" liao.

I actually don't see how that would be helpful... unless they mounted the sensor on a gyroscope, no amount of compensation will work for very long focal lengths or very slow shutter speeds... not even body AS and lens IS...
