Iphone 7 Plus Camera Image Stabilization

This camera fills the gap perfectly between a camera with full size features versus the portability, but limited photo capabilities of an advanced iPhone. With the 40x optical zoom and image stabilization, its reach easily outperforms my aging Canon EOS 40D even with its 28-300 mm image stabilized zoom lens that I used for youth sports photos 12 years ago and its 24-105 mm lens that I used for vacation photos five years ago. It is larger than my iPhone, but it still small enough to fit in any jacket pocket and most pants pockets. The image stabilization is amazingly effective, even at full zoom. Our favorite most recent photo is a full size shot of a new-born deer fawn taken from a distance so far away that the fawn and its mother had no awareness of our presence. The camera is easy to use but also has some advanced features for the more sophisticated photographer. Because of its convenience, it has become my everyday go-to camera. I'm not sure how often I will want to haul around the full size camera from this point forward.

The image stabilization is excellent. The optics are very clear and precise. With the stabilization I have been able to take pictures of the moon, through the binoculars with my iPhone.

Image Stabilization (VC) is amazing!

Love it. Just wish it had image stabilization.

..first 24 hours..used only 7%..couldn't ask for anything better...

Takes great images and the image stabilization is the best I have ever seen.

This camera allows me to use my vintage cameras with image stabilization. I am also impressed with the performance of my E series lens.. The feature set is far superior to the make of camera I have been using since 1986.

Before you spend more you might want to try out this lens. I spent more...WAY more...for Zeiss glass and L series lenses and my Olympus Pro series 12-40mm lens. While they're all good...so is this lens. Don't let the low price fool you. This lens is well made and I'm completely satisfied with the pictures it provides. Yes, it's a manual focus only lens...but I like that. I use it with my Olympus OM-D E-M1 mirrorless camera. That camera has in-body image stabilization and the ability to zoom in to make it easy to get perfect focus every time. The image stabilization makes me forget I'm 73 years old and sometimes a bit shaky. To top it all off this silver lens looks great on my silver bodied E-M1 (shown with lens, a cheap generic lens hood, and an RRS L plate).

I was looking for a camera to be as good as my iPhone Xs and small enough to fit in my pocket. Plus some pro features like shooting manual. This camera delivers it 100 percent. I chose this ver. 5 , or like its called VA because of the fast lens f1.8 lens which is way better from the newest v.7

Good image quality with excellent stabilization
