WOW! That IBIS is very, very good!
This Gizmodo review has got to be a joke.
What non-sense are you babbling on about?
This looks like they used an m43 for the first time
“This Is Weird…
It has face recognition. Does anyone ever use face recognition on a camera?”
Sometimes, yes, but never for video.
It can be useful with somewhat longer lenses while taking pictures in hectic situations where it is easier to avoid ‘confusing compositions’ then nail focus.
The problem is that on most cameras fr simply doesn’t work very well (including my e-p1 and g2). On the latest crop of cameras it seems to have become good enough that it can actually help (for example the e-m5, but pretty sure thats not the only one).
Your rigth- after checking some more gizmodo reviews, i simply say the whole site is a joke (at least in Camera testing)
e.g.
the “test” of the Conon M-is just talking about features from the data sheet-without any real information
or
in the test of the Canon T4i: “The manual focus on mirrorless cameras is a joke when compared to using an optical viewfinder to dial it in”
i bet they never tried to MF with a mirrorless, and only searched for a reason why a optical viewfinder is better.
Funny though, cause the commenters are actually not as uninformed as the reviewer.
This video is weeks old. C’mon 43rumors, when I check you out I expect news to be breaking news.
Well, it’s a rumors site, not news. You’ll see — soon GX2 rumor will be a “braking news” here 🙂
That IBIS system is THE feature the GH3’s missing
