IS vs non-IS

[wootsk]

Carry Monopod add more weight lea, my female case quite extreme. Ask her add on a monopod and move around = ask her move around in FBO (Full battle order).

More weight during walking, but more stabilisation during snapping.

Think of IS as a condom.

You want to have it but maybe don't need it, rather than need it and don't have it.

she fail not becoz of the gears' weight.
men fail too, right, just watched our steps.

Judging from the size of the lens to camera it should be a 5D mkII with battery grip and a 70-200mm F4L that fall. Who care if the lady fall, the equipment and the shots in the memory card are more important ;p

I am EVIL I guess --->> Muhahahahahahahahaha

could be a XXD series as well..hood is petal so it's a 2.8 variant..

anyone noticed that the hood took some of the impact and snapped off?

OT: wootsk, you need a camera that can shoot at 30fps in order to get 108000 pics/hr...:bsmilie:

You can hear the impact, must not have felt good.

Back on topic, if you can, save up and get IS.

f2.8.. nothing beats an extra stop

f2.8.. nothing beats an extra stop

This beats having an extra stop: f/2.8 and IS.

Ai yo yo... what I mean is that your photo is depends on how long your exposure so if you are using a shutter speed of only 1/30 sec, you need to shoot 108000 photos to say that you have shoot photos for an hour. This goes to show that even people who are very long into photography but only shoot when they travel oversea or for special days actually doesn't shoot much more than a starter who carry his camera where ever he goes and enjoy shooting and learning. The principle of this works on the fact to motivate people to shoot photos anywhere and anytime when they feels like so rather than on special days or traveling. :lovegrin:
