Info on Image Stabilization

I'm considering upgrading from a Sony a6000 to either a Sony a6400 or 6500. Need thoughts on how helpful the "in body" stabilization on 6500 compared to "in lens" stabilization on 6400. I already have several in lens stabilized Sony lenses.

Sony has designed IS to work with OSS. You can have both on when using a tripod without any trouble. One is good, but both working together is better.

The upside with IBS or In Body Stabilization is you can put any lens on the body as I have done with my Pentax DSLR' S and have stabilization, I just added a Panasonic GH4 Micro 4/3 camera that was on sale for just under $600. the body does not have IBS, I would have to go to the GH5 or G9 and both are twice the price. I pared the GH4 with the Olympus Pro 12-100 mm F-4. the reason is this is the only 4/3 lens made at that focal length that is stabilized and is a constant F-4. Olympus has IBS in some bodies and this lens would work together with their IBS but on a Panasonic GH5 the lens stabilization on the Olympus lens does not work so you would have to turn off the lens stabilization to use the IBS in the GH5.

BY the way IBS stabilizes the photo in camera so you will see movement through the lens, Lens based stops shake in lens, it makes for a larger lens and many times a little more money for the lens. IBS can correct for more different directions of movement than lens stabilization can but in the end they both work well. I would rather have the camera stabilized to give you a greater selection of glass.

I have the a6300 and it works great with image stabilized lenses. I too was considering an upgrade to the a6500. However on the hog and other reviews, they claimed the a6500 ibis was so so. Not as good as the competition. That's why I held off. I don't know about the a6400. It may be better since it's a newer camera.

I believe that in most cases in-lens stabilization is more effective for longer FLs (Telephotos), while in-body is more effective at shorter FLs, and if the particular system will allow them to be combined, then you have the best of both worlds.
