IBIS or not, here we are, remembering how many times you and others on this forum (CC: Mikehit and rrcphoto) put forward the idea that Canon didn't want or care about video in their stills cameras, and was only marketing to the majority, and if people wantedIf you are a video shooter who needs IBIS, too bad for you. The thing is, Canon markets to the majority. The fact that you want or need something, and that maybe you can find a couple other people on the internet who feel the same, doesn’t mean you’re in the majority.
That’s a tough pill for some people to swallow.
Now, finally, we have the R5C, which fulfills the promise to hybrid shooters that Canon made many, many years ago with the 5D Mark II, at relatively low cost. Which proves once and for all, that video belongs in these still camera bodies as part of a hybrid approach. And the world will never be the same. (Lack of IBIS, is of course, probably an engineering necessity in this case.)
Now, Neuro, we go back a long ways, and I know you will protest, so I leave you with a quote:
“Imaging professionals are living in a multimedia world. Gone are the days of only needing to be sufficiently equipped and skilled at video or stills,” said Tatsuro “Tony” Kano, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Canon U.S.A.’s Imaging Technologies & Communications Group.
If only Canon had realized this years ago, they would have never lost FF market share to Sony. Cheers to you and to everyone who fought over video in stills bodies- now that Canon has realized the correct path forward, we never need to debate it again.
I say this with love and respect for the knowledge that you and others otherwise put forward on this forum.
