Originally posted by grispie Unless I missed something, I understand that camera has other issues. That's what I meant: there always seems to be some kind of trade off you have to make. With something like this mini rig, whatever brand, it always works and you can use it on the different cams you have and also going forward in a couple of years.
Quickly checked it out yesterday evening on youtube, the reviews I saw seemed quite good...
Yeah, but those issues are not due to SR, if I haven't missed anything. It's more a problem with Olympus attitude towards video... "Video? There's Panasonic for that... we want to focus on photography!". I mean, there is no reason why a camera is able to do 30 fps, but not 24 or 25.
So basically the problem right now is that there is no camera that packs everything into one nice package. Some come close, but no camera is complete. A GH3 with the latest Sony image processor and the Olympus stabilizer? Perhaps add the Canon 70D AF? However everything points at Sony getting the 5 axis stabilizer. And Sony is giving all their new cameras the BIONZ X processor, which gives their cameras 4K, very high bitrates, 10 bit h264 video, pixel binning, ... if supported by the sensor of course. They are also working on sensors with PDAF all over the sensor. So basically they could put it all together. Now the Sony alpha 5000 doesn't make use of the BIONZ X (only 24 Mbps for example), but then again it seems to be more consumer oriented. We'll have to see.
Or perhaps Pentax sees the light, and ups bitrate + enables SR. :P
