Hello,
I'm an enthusiast stills 6D shooter - landscapes, colorful night skies, city streets, and macro, but generally not portraits as according to my wife I have a gift for capturing unflattering images of people. Having said that, I'm pretty good with cats!
Most of the time, I shoot with a tripod for sharp shots as my hands do imperceptably shake a bit at times.
I can’t tell to what extent your hands shake,
There's no pathology involved other than aging, but I'm pretty strong for my age. The interesting thing is that my hands are more stable after resistive exercise.
but I guess lens IS is more than enough to keep things steady. If you have non-stabilised lenses, then I guess ibis is needed. I also use the camera strap to help with stabilisation by tightening it around my body.
Good information, thanks.
The R6 MKll has been on my radar screen and I've requested an in-stock alert. Then comes the R8. Price and functionality could justify pre-ordering it right now! I've gotten over my grumbling about the small battery as it looks like I can order an RP battery grip. The bigger question is ibis vs. no ibis.
You mean the official extra bottom grip that came with the RP? This is just a grip extension. Not a battery grip.
The notion of a light weight R body with a few modern RF lenses for hand-held shots is enticing. Hand-held video is a great option but it's not my priority.
If I order the R8, will I regret not having ibis???
Thoughts? Recommendations?
