Function Of Image Stabilizer In Camera

Very pleased with the zoom range, image quality and the stabilizer function. A significant improvement from the lens quality of my previous system.

I am really impressed with this little super camera! The image quality and color rendition are amazing. Image stabilizer works like a charm and I was able to get clean sharp images even at 1/4th of a second. Ricoh GR series have always been great, and the GRiii is simply one of the best out there!

This camera is great for sports and the image stabilizer is awesome! Highly recommend!

We have other Canon image stabilizer binoculars but these are by far the sharpest.

The optical image stabilizer works really well. Zoom is good. Very light weight and fits nicely in my hand. I was looking for a quality camera without a hefty pricetag and this camera fits that and more. Picture quality on my 42 LCD is sharp and the colors are true. I am also impressed with this camera's ability to shoot and focus in low-light situations. Overall, I'm very happy with this camera. It was hard-earned money well spent.

Combined with the in camera body image stabilizer this zoom lens allows excellent close ups just hand held. Unbelievably powerful zoom !

A very well made and durable lens, I purchased exclusively for use recording video. The image stabilizer, for video, is key the difference is clear when performing hand held shots. The only downside I have experienced is that when using the on camera microphone with the image stabilizer a faint hum is recorded on the audio track. This is fine if you are only using the on camera for a reference track but is not desirable otherwise. Frankly I wouldn't recommend using the internal mic on and HDSLR because they are all pretty poor.

Size and locking feature. Image stabilizer works great

It's an amazing machine. The most useful feature of the Ef Macro lens is IS (image stabilizer).

I use a NikonD200 with a Neoprene neck strap and the neoprene, flexible Stabilizer Strap (Op/Tech USA) around my chest when camera is not in use. The stabilizer precents the camera swaying when I am running, climbing, or otherwise active, even getting out of crowded vehicles. The stbilizer prevents the strap from impacting anything like branches, rock walls, furniture, or the person in the seat ahead of me. It permits the camera to instantly slip out of the stabilizer, leaving the strap in position./ The strap length is adjustable to fit over a bulky jacket or vest, and the snap-on ends make it easy to fit.The central lens opening can be enlarged to fit extremely wide diameter lenses. I canot imagine how it could be improved.
