Good one. I especially like parts 21c3 and 25_2 , and those little screws 28 are so cute!
Patent: Here is Canon’s IBIS unit
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
That to me would indicate that they seriously want to use this...otherwise, they have other places to put those resources.
My first lens with IS was the 100 macro. It has proven extremely useful, and I cannot imagine buying a lens without that unless the body had IS. Those who think they do not need it (and it isn not always needed) should try using or renting a lens and they may be surprised at how useful it is.
And very few products get implemented without real patents ...

We used a friend's A7R iii with IBIS hand held in the redwoods. It was but-ugly useless for a crisp sharp scenery photo. My friend quickly replied "better get myself a tripod". On the other hand, there's a review or two for the new Fuji GFX 50 or 100 showing that its IBIS seem much more effective hand held.
It may boil down to the particular IBIS design.
Personally, I don't really need it. If the IBIS only adds $100 or $200, sure, I'll take it. If it adds $400 or more, maybe offer two models, one with and one without.
We'll need all the help we can get at 83 MPx 8-o
I beg to differ.
1. I would consider all the Super "L" lenses (f/2 and faster) to be key pro lenses. f/1.2 is not about "bragging rights". Maybe it is for you, but my mama taught me to not be a braggart. While I am not a pro, I relish the benefit of IBIS for these lenses, which do not have IS. (Super "L". Remember, you heard it from me first.
)2. Advanced amateurs are a far larger market than professionals who make a living at photography. I believe we are a huge priority for Canon. Canon would die on the vine without us. So would every single other manufacturer.
3. I use an f/1.2 lens... where lighting is controlled with flash and also not because it isn't allowed in some places... including weddings in some churches and museums.
4. Canon will have IBIS, and it will work very well... because that's just how Canon rolls.

The Canon rep I spoke to last weekend actually quoted the old wine commercial, "We'll sell no wine before its time."
They don't want to put something shoddy out, even at the price of having a number of people hopping up-and-down impatiently waiting for it.
Two years after it's out, no one will remember the wait but they'll appreciate the result.
If my 5DMkIII had IBIS...I would have already purchased the EF 11-24 lens.
Part of the reason my M Canon bodies have seen so much use over the years is that the format's 'best' lens, the EF-M 11-22...is IS.
In my hands...over and over again... lens-based IS has been invaluable. I imagine that Canon, when they implement IBIS...that it will also prove to be an excellent tool.

Yes, I will appreciate...if it will come to EOS M sooner than to Fuji X-Txx (or at least to Fuji X-Tx)
Look at it another way: instead of thinking, what new shots can I get with this that I couldn't before, consider it a means of making the current shots easier/more reliable. Like autofocus does - it's not that getting a shot in focus wasn't possible before, it's just much easier now. I take bursts of shots to account for various factors, and using longer than advised shutter speeds in low light, to take one example, would surely be easier with this, so instead of taking a big burst hoping one lacks motion blur, IBIS could mean you only need to take a couple to be sure, saving time and memory card space.
What about M5 mk ii or M50 mk ii? Smaller sensors have less mass and might be moved with a simpler setup: A linear factor of 1.6 grows to 1.6³= 4 in terms of volume and hence mass ... And the EOS M series isn't that critical in terms of bad press if the system doesn't work good enough for the most critical users.
But maybe you are right because if that system adds 400 $ / € to the camera price it will be swallowed by the prices of expensive FF cameras while 150 $ / € would be prohibitive for APS-C cameras especially a M50 mk ii.
Quite a few products are made with no parents. Parents offer the full road map on how the product works, some companies would rather not fully disclose the secret sauce if the product isn't easy to reverse engineer.And very few products get implemented without real patents ...
Or shooting with 400mm F5.6 using iso 800 and 1/50 instead of iso 12800 and 1/800
More than likely it will be superior to what is available anywhere else knowing how Canon operates.
This article explains Canon very well and why they do not have to put out 3-4 iterations of crap with constant fixes to finally get what was advertised at the beginning like others usually do.
