Impressive Sony A7II on sensor stabilization video test with SAL70400G and Minolta MD 135mm lens.

Share



On left 5 axis on and on right 5 axis off (Source: Mobile01).


Note: The A7II is shipping at Amazon Japan. Will ship from Tuesday on Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, SonyStore!


Here are new Sony A7II stabilization tests:


First the bad news: It’s still not official but it really looks like manual focusing third-party lenses will indeed benefit from the 3 axis stabilization only. But maybe that’s something can easily upgrade in future if SAR reader will make some pressure on them :)


And now the good news: There are new stabilization test videos you have to check out. It really shows how impressive the difference is between having or not having the new A7II on sensor stabilization system. After watching this you will a hard time to buy any other A7 camera without the stabilization!




Amazing! Also the “limited” 3 axis stabilization on the Minolta MD 135mm lens does wonder. One more stabilization test has been posted on Mobile01. Justs croll down to the two (10pics series) of pictures taken with and without the stabilization.


What do you think? If you find more test feel free to post them all on our forum thread: http://ift.tt/12vcx3r.

Sony take a look: Olympus will use the 5 axis stabilization to create high resolution images on the fly.

Share



Now that we now Sony will use the 5 axis system on future E-Mount camera it’s interesting to read what has been reported on MirrorlessRumors. Olympus will launch a new E-M5II camera in February. And by shifting the sensor with the stabilization system it “can shoot up to 40 Megapixel by shifting the sensor (in up to 8 frames of single shots)”.


What you usually do when shooting HDR (combine multiple images at different exposures) you do with the Resolution (combine multiple images at different shifted sensor locations).


Of course this works fine when shooting still objects. Must be a bit of a mess on fast-moving stuff. But it’s interesting that the on sensor stabilization could also bring us that kind of “unexpected” benefit!
