dreamplayhouse Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Howdy, which 5 would you rank as top for video IBIS? I thought maybe these: 1. Olympus EM II, III, OM-1 2. S1 3. S5 4. Nikon Z 6/7 5. Fuji X-H2/S What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickHitRecord Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Surely the GH6/5/5ii would be close to the top of that list, right? hyalinejim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfoundmass Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Olympus/OMD might technically have the best IBIS but lacks the video features of the others. The GH6 and the S5ii both are probably at the top of the pack. Really, no one else other than Olympus comes close. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herein2020 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 1. GoPro (digital IS) 2. R7 3. S5II (if it is a good as the S5) 4. R5 5. GH5 I only listed the cameras that I have owned, all the reviews in the world won't tell you as much as actually owning the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Ros Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 The best “walking” ibis tests using native lenses 1) OM systems (OM1 & em1 series) 2) LUMIX G M43 line (GH6) 3) LUMIX S5ii/X (NEW) 4) LUMIX S1 series 5) Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji are good also but with eis crops, catalyst browse, boost i.s etc SMGJohn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I don't think R7 is above S5II, that wobble on wide angle is not great.. Once I got my friend's S5II I could test it vs my R7/R5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMGJohn Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 For video IBIS its hands down. 1 - Panasonic GH6 2 - Panasonic S1H 3 - Panasonic S5/S5II (They are identical in performance) 4 - Panasonic GH5II 5 - Sony A7IV + OIS lens + digital IS The reason I exclude Olympus is because they have mediocre video specs, worse than GH4, OM-1 has video quality between GH4 and GH5. Canon all have pretty meh video IBIS, struggles with panning, wobbles with wide angle. Fuji is only useful for tripod style video with no panning or movements at all, worse than Sony for video IBIS. Nikon suffers from similar issues to Canon but have worse wobble with wide lenses. Panasonic S1 is rated 8 stops compared to 5 stops in S5 but suffers from wide angle wobble whereas S5 has really minimal amount of it which makes the S5 superior overall and in my own experience I saw little difference in video mode. And as for Sony, really they all are pretty mediocre and have realistically 2 - 3 stops at best, but if you have a lens with OIS and turn on digital IS you actually get really good results, close to a S5 body IBIS. But its very railroaded setup and not versatile whereas S5 is good even with an adapted manual lens and extremely good work a native lens with OIS.

hyalinejim Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 4 hours ago, SMGJohn said: Panasonic S5/S5II (They are identical in performance) Check out Richard Wong's comparison which puts the S5II ahead of the GH6, at least for walking with the camera performance. S5II has dramatically improved IBIS compared to S5, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Ros Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Richard wong”s S5ii vs GH6 ibis video looks as though there were strengths and weaknesses to both. GH6 had better pitch, it did better on bumps. Whereas S5ii had better yaw then the GH6, so a bit smoother. S5ii ibis seems to be the one to beat for now when it comes to full frame. I think the next M43 from Pana/OM could be Go pro level though hyalinejim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyalinejim Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yes it looks like GH6 is rated for 7.5 stops and S5II for 6.5, but the S5II has the Active IS technology. Once that hits a M43 body surely it'll be the best yet for stabilisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
