How do they do that in TV in cars where the presenter is not sat so close to the lens as in the example below.

This is a G7 14-44 stocklens but for smaller spaces it really is not wide enough. Is there a stabilised fixed option lens that would work? Or would you just use a GO PRO in that instance and have the horrible picture it delivers?

How would you do it?

You can skip in on this to see the example.

12~35 mk-I and mk-II,12~32 and the 2 12~60 are the widest OIS zoom lenses of Panny. No other lenses covering such range are OIS specially for prime lenses (simply because Panny thinks they don't need IS for that range).

Both of these 5 lenses are DIAL IS compatible and if you'll upgrade G7 later you could enjoy the 1~1.5 stops more effective stabilization than OIS.

Olympus also has the 12~100 pro lens which is OIS.

A 12 can handle those tighter indoor shooting better than 14. It is my reason that 12 is my basic need for my general walking around standard zoom lens.
