Originally posted by Rondec You should actually be more steady with a heavier camera than a light camera. There is a reason why they make weighted silverware for folks with bad essential tremor. I'm sure Olympus is good, but I certainly haven't had issues with shake reduction in Pentax cameras and I don't find it difficult to steady things.
On the other hand, you should be able to bump iso up roughly a stop from Olympus and get similar results, so maybe you just need to keep your shutter speed faster.
speaking about technique - solution is well known. Bump Iso, and Shutter speed.
but almost imediatelly you will came to conclusion - why I have larger heavier camera, when I get same results with smaller, because you can control your things better without having to bump ISO.
...
so, it's kind of even in output quality terms, ( of course not everywhere ) .
...
I must point at one more thing. In portrait mode 3:2 is not quite what I want, and I feel good to cut upper part and bottom of picture every so and so, because it has to much empty space.
..
After croping is not the same thing when you naturally nail your shoot in 3:2 to get picture frame more balanced,
and this goes to other formats as well.
When you shoot in one aspect ratio things are not even to make another aspect ratio afterwards, because you already line up your subjects to cover your, let's say 3:2.
...
and that leads us, to less Mp, noiser pic, and again smaller camera ( in my case ) win, because for portrait shots 3:4 is much better choice...
ah....
Pentax (Ricoh) do you listen ?

Croping your pic in different ratio after shoot, is not the same thing when you already and naturally nail your shoot in 3:2 to get picture frame more balanced,
and this goes to other formats as well.
