IBIS vs lens image stabilization?


5 years 1 week ago #639109 by Glen Martin
Hey gang, good morning.   So if you have a camera body with NO IBIS however lenses with image stabilization, are you good?  Will a camera body and lens with IS work together or are you using one IS system over the other?  Is one better than the other? 

I'm looking at the Canon EOS R and wondering if you are using lenses with IS, will that be enough?

You're good with IS. Now the answer to "does lens IS and IBIS work together". It depends. Olympus with Olympus lenses work together. If you put a Pany lens on, then you have to choose. Same goes for Panasonic. Pany lenses on Pany bodies work together. The newest bodies are more likely to use both together. You need to investigate the exact body/lens combo you are looking at, but that research begins with the body and if it will do it.

good info. I had never considered that. 

  The advantage to in body image stabilization is simply not having to worry about whether the lens has it or not.  Both work about the same,  from my experiences, However, I don’t use too many third-party lenses either

I've used both IBIS (Olympus OMD) and IS (Canon/Fuji) ... for me IBIS worked much better than IS. Don't get me wrong, IS definitely works, but IBIS seems to work significantly better.  
There are photographs everywhere. It is the call of photographers to see and capture those images.

I would think there would be much more opportunity to for the IBIS to do it's thing.  IBIS is where it's at.

Just to clarify, if you have IBIS, you want to have the IS turned off right?  Have both on will cause problems?

You can use both, I've seen a number of video's in YouTube showing difference from not using, to using IBIS alone, to using IBIS and  IS.  All together resulted in best.

If you have IBIS, you can turn off the len's IS. Native lenses to a system generally don't conflict if both are turned on, but you should check to make sure and turn off if unsure.

This is correct. The answer is it depends. If the body being used offers sync IS, then both being on are better. If it doesn't offer sync IS, then you have to choose one or the other. They don't fight each other, the one not selected just doesn't work.

IBIS is much better, however using both will be excellent pair.
