The Sony sensor stabilization graph
According to one of our Samsung sources there could be soon IBIS on NX cameras
I just got the news that samsung is working on a in body stabilizer for future nx products. I don’t know when it’s ready, but it won’t be implemented on a flagship camera, initially (but rather on a lower end model)!
This certainly makes a lot of sensor. ON sensor stabilization from Olympus and Sony proved to be quite effective. It’s a must have feature that Samsung needs to remain attractive.

Three of four years ago, there already was a rumor that said Samsung was about to switch to IBIS, but nothing happened. Maybe Sony turning to IBIS for E-Mount and Panasonic with the GX7 have finally convinced Samsung that it really is the way to go? Even they didn’t care for other advantages (like stabilization with legacy lenses), it would at least simplify their own lens design…
Well, as an owner of most nx lenses, I’d say that those that would need ibis are the pancakes, which are more suitable to smaller/lighter cameras. Hence this rumor could make sense, perhaps the future nx50 will have ibis? This should be the next model in line (nx500 is new and nx1 is barely 6 months old).
I still hope nx50 will look like a rangefinder with evf, to differentiate more from nx1 and nx500 at the same time.
It’s only logical. Those of us who are using fast primes mounted on IBIS bodies know about the tremendous advantage of this kind of combination in low light situations. 5-axis IBIS it’s also a great thing to have when you’re shooting with tele lenses. These are things that DSLRs or conventional mirrorless cameras simply cannot provide…
Eek, Sony and Pentax DSLRs both have IBIS, and extinct Oly 43 had.
Makes sensor! 🙂
IBIS is also useful for other things than just stabilization. It makes sensor cleaning easier, it could be used to compensate for a lack of an AA filter as Ricoh did, or could be used to capture higher resolution images as Olympus and Ricoh did in their latest camera models.
Let’s see how fast they get this feature into a product now.
This is the way development goes, except for two dinosaurs that invested much in their IS and VR technology. Maby they will find that out when their era is over.
The samsung EX2F already has dual IS… so why not…
