Canon Image Stabilization demo

[joshlandes1]

idk whats the differnece between is and usm

[lizards821]

@joshlandes1 IS is the actual image stabilization, USM stands for Ultrasonic Motor, which is the super quiet autofocus system.

[morloff]

Used non is on eBay ... Around $500 usd

[stone4bread]

I'm new to this concept what exactly am I seeing, and what's awesome about it?

[NamesROverated]

@stone4bread the element moves inside the lens to counteract camera shake, so smoother video and sharper images.

[lhlee888]

Wait... the lens is already mounted on a steady table right...?

[dfdtdfdx]

in japan cheapest 70-200 2.8 IS now ¥ 118,000

[dfdtdfdx]

in used market

70-200 2.8 IS and non-IS difference is only USD300

[royraiden]

@dfdtdfdx Where do you get that from? The IS  version is being sold used from around $1,600 to $2,000+.You can get the non IS for around $1,000.

[godhoros]

no shit

[01rai01]

ITS ALIVE!!!

[ramfery23]

thanks canon that just make the lenses more expensive.

[TJChagas]

@ramfery23

And more "awesomeling powerfulness"

If u havn't used a IS len, u shoud do it, its simply awesome...

[MrShakaboommm]

keep on shaking yea~

[mathieuemi666]

And this costs $500 (if you compare 70-200 with IS vs non-IS versions)

[chuchofreeman]

the movement looks very "organic"

pretty cool

[theoneatyourdoor87]

Magnets may cause more problems than it solves for camera. The magnetic field if strong enough may distort the sensor (I don't know what it's made of). It could also effect the memory cards. But I hope they can put magnetic stabilization in their lenses one day. Imagine not needing a tripod or a monopod.

[ranjoharbri]

@theoneatyourdoor87 - What a load of nonsense.

[OneImprint]

Wow this is awesome! Canon electronic stabilization is great. Have you ever tried mechanical stabilization with high-end binoculars? That's when the whole optical system floats on magnets the moment you press the stabilization button. No batteries, no gyros, no moving parts. Magnar Optics dot com. Check it out.

[myrdalism]

IS is good for video shooting as well

[bellci]

Amazing! I have the stabilized version of Canon 70-200 f4 USM and I love it,but it sounds funny when I use the stabilized :D.

[psychomachine96]

its in the 2nd stabilization mode...

[snaphappy7530]

is that really how much it moves

[AndreasFehrm]

I'd like to see the USM doing its job instead.

[SpatteL19]

@AndreasFehrm

USM is for the focus

what you see moving here ist the IS - image stabilization

[wegputzer1979]

just amazing!

[CBDav]

and to think it's only good for a 4 stop advantage.....

[sebo2001]

Only 4 stops?? from f11 to f2.8 that is a lot!

[dvamateur]

After I've seen this, I don't think I'll ever buy a stabilized lens. It looks kind of flimsy compared to a regular lens.

[snaphappy7530]

@dvamateur believe me your wrong besides most cameras let you turn it off or on

[dvamateur]

@snaphappy7530 Too many mechanical parts, just like in zoom lenses. I recently got an 85mm f/1.4 prime lens, and I use it almost exclusively. But I am old, so take a slant on me.

[FinlandApollo]

@dvamateur IS is good for guys who shoot in bad light conditions. If you don't shoot in bad light, you don't need it. IMO I would take 50mm 1.8 without IS than 50 f2.4 with IS

[veyronman]

@FinlandApollo so someone with a 600mm lens doesn't need it? ok

[FinlandApollo]

@veyronman I didn't say that 600mm lens doesn't need it. It is good to have it with long tele lenses. But I don't see point it when it decreases f stop. With 400, 500 and 600mm IS is very nice.

[OneImprint]

@dvamateur Too much electronics! The whole system can be just hung on magnets without any hectic movement. Canon is stuck with their electronic stabilizing technology and that's the best they can do. Check out Zeiss 20x60 cardanic suspension or Magnar Optics Magnar 20x50 for example. Well of course those binoculars are 3K+, but so worth it.

[jellotime91]

this is pr0n for robuts. This shouldn't be on jewtube!!

[CubaLibre01]

W-O-W...!

...and this technology has already been around for a while.

frikng amazing.

[vaagen58]

great dancing there

[Lvduggo69]

Ooooooooo. Geeeeeeeeee. Mmmmmmmm.

[Hin3KH]

Ahhaaaaaaaaa......

[gabstax]

muahhhhhhhh!

[robcelica]

that is cool!

[eduardo310595]

I DIDN'T GET....wht is it?

[vetteguy17]

its the lens moving to compensate for a person moving shaking... hard to explain

[robcelica]

i presume it moves a lot quicker than this in the actual lenses...

[Beatbot]

*wobble wobble wobble*

[neoroxx]

this is what causing the minor clicking sound =)

[dickkwikkwek]

that's insane

[KalinNikolov]

and this is use in ????

[eoa05]

canon image stabilized lenses

[l33thustla]

great stuff!

[contbaxx]

oh..ho..i thinkn what kind of this...robot or machine maybe....its canon camera..oh my god...how it work..

[Philscbx]

Very Cool.

This saves me all kinds of ridicule when I take things apart to see what makes it tick.
