Camera manufacturers apparently think so. That is why they have developed image stabilization----for all of us
non-elitists who are always looking for ways to improve.

Buy a tripod. Better yet, pay someone to take the picture for you… Oh, wait, you already do!!! You let manufacturers dictate what needs to be done for a 'sure shot'.

Now, you really think that being confounded by a thread over how to keep a camera stable is being an elitist?

By the way, I feel you. Coming out of the closet (attic) to post in the main channel must be a traumatic experience.

Sorry, I should have said pompous elitist.

I welcome any improvements to preventing camera shake. I have a slight tremor in my hands and lots of my shots aren't nearly as sharp as they could be.

A reasonable article but only covers full frame and APS-C. It doesn't cover the 5.5 or more available stops IS or where the camera movement, along with the IS system, is used to produce the 50mp / 80mp RAW images from the 20mp sensors. But it is good for as far as it went.

He kept saying "higher shutter speed" when he should have been saying "longer exposure time" or "slower shutter speed" .

Some are elitists, some have just forgotten what it was like to be at the beginning of their learning curve. For a lot of beginners it won't be obvious that even imperceptible camera movements can spoil shots. Shooting techniques for hand-held shots are worth having a look at, even if you do have IBIS and OIS.

I thought this was a good refresher article for some of us seniors who might be forgetful of some of the basics.... That being said I would like to see an in-depth article on just when IBIS and/or ILIS should be turned off and try and explain just exactly what the camera is detecting and what it is doing to alleviate the problem; and WHY leaving Stabilization on might be counterproductive to creating a stabilized image. Actually, I have discovered quite by accident that much higher ISO on my Olympus really do not degrade the image that much... I mistakenly shot 1600 for an entire day and never realized until looking at the data... SO, I am MORE confident of higher ISO in the future. All in all though we should not get sloppy with techniques just because electronics can compensate... Just my humble 2 cents ! Bob
