  4. Tilt shift features built into camera?

Tilt shift features built into camera?


9 years 6 months ago #404684 by James Rados
James's out there question of the day.  I don't ask that many potentially out there questions, but I'm going to ask this one regardless.  A few months ago, in one of the discussions I was reading either on another board or here.  Someone made a remark that just struck me.  The original discussion was about tilt shift lenses, and this person responded with why not get a camera that has this feature built into it.  

I don't know why it look me so long to finally register this statement.  But it just hit me this morning.  Either this person was on crack, or my searches are completely wrong.  Because I wasn't finding squat on the subject.  This had me thinking further, do modern cameras play an ambiguous role these days?  Taking on task, that some time ago were only features found in the lens?  For example vibration reduction, a feature that is usually found in the lens it self.  There are cameras that have this feature built into their bodies.  See where I'm going with this?

All view cameras have this, it's part of the definition of a view camera.  Many of the old folding press cameras had a vertical shift.  Dunno how practical it is to get digital backs for these cameras.  Working with a view camera is a privilege.  Ask Ansel Adams.

I believe Sony builds vibration control into their bodies, but I could be wrong....:dry:  
I wouldn't have a use for tilt shift.
Why so serious?

Olympus, Sony & Pentax cameras have  in body stabilization...Pros & cons to each method.... That said, I don't own any lenses with VR/IS/VC/OS.... My niche is macro & I use a ring light. The short duration of the flash stops all motion (subjects too, which VR doesn't). It also allows me to stop down for more DOF... My non macro shooting either uses fast lenses, a tripod or a flash/speedlight or a combination thereof.... As has already been said, View cameras have the shift/tilt function built in... I doubt they would incorporate it into DSLR's due to limited uses for most people...

I think that's the Lumix or Panasonic cameras that have this feature.

Panasonic incorporates their OIS stabilization in their lenses, not in their bodies (unless they have recently changed). I was looking at them when I got my Oly Pen E-P3 (which has OS in the body)

To me if it was possible, it would not appeal to me at all. That would be just one more micro mechanical contraption to break, and render your camera useless. On a standard Dslr it would have to be a live view function. With the lens it is straight tilt and shoot, or pretty much one step. The other way is multiple steps, making it more convoluted. Then there would be the would you have to return the sensor back to parallel, or does it reset after you trip the shutter. Which would mean if you want more than one shot, you have to go through it all over again, and again. 
I would rather use a TS, or one of the adapters to get that type of shot. There is something calming about going through the whole process of getting the shot you want, that more technology ruins for me.

Good grief, no.

Get a lensbaby or comparable if you really want to do that. The only moving parts I want in my camera are the mirror and the shutter.

They are mistaking an in camera filter versus the real thing. I think they are probably referring to the toy filter available in some cameras. Some refer to this as a tilt-shift filter. This is a available in Olympus cameras and others as well. I'm not sure why image stabilization was brought up because that has nothing to do with the question at hand. Olympus cameras have in camera stabilization built into the body so any lens you use is stabilized even if you use another brand such as a Nikon with an adapter.
