What IBIS can do for you

Dear friends, although I still love my previous Canon 5DmkIV DSLR, my latest acquisition, the mirrorless Canon R6mkII, does make photography that much more delightful. Namely, I like to touch on IBIS (in-body Image Stabilisation). This feature alone justifies upgrading to mirrorless. I have always brought my tripod on my travels but IBIS has enabled me to leave my tripod in the hotel room as I go about doing low-light or low shutter speed shoots in the locale. IBIS (plus IS on lenses) lets me take shots that were not previously possible without a tripod. The 5-axis IBIS can deliver an industry-leading 8-stops of IS when the cameras are paired with certain lenses. I can now handhold exposures for much longer than the "reciprocal rule" for minimising camera shake allows (the rule is to set a shutter speed no slower than 1 over your selected focal length – so at 50mm, shoot at 1/50 sec or faster; at 100mm, shoot at 1/100 sec, and so on). Have a look at a few handheld pictures I shot during my last trip to Hoi An and Da Nang. Camera - Canon EOS R6mkII Lens - Canon RF 24-105mm F4L IS , RF14-35mm F4L IS, RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM.
