I'll read the article a little later, but my personal experience with both systems says: - OIS is better for video and working with a DSLR using long lenses because it stabilizes the image you see in the viewfinder. It's downside is that, of course, you only get IS with lenses so equipped. - IBIS is convenient as all lenses can benefit from it. - Regards efficiency of performance, I haven't seen much in practical terms that shows a distinct superiority to either system in still camera use. BTW, none of my present cameras includes image stabilization of either type. I haven't seen any evidence this is proving a blocker to my photography. ;-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
