When doing some research all of the lenses I came across had no OIS for example - Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II. If OIS is best for slow shutter speeds in low light how come it isn't included in Pansonic lenses made for low light.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658099408074486151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-59880643199936498212014-10-02T09:06:51.818+01:002014-10-02T09:06:51.818+01:00For hand held video use, image stabilization is al...For hand held video use, image stabilization is always useful.

I would have liked to have purchased an Olympus so that I would have more lens choices without losing optical stabilization. However, price considerations won out. At what length of lens do I need image stabilization if shooting off hand? Would I notice if I used an Olympus kit lens of 14-42 mm?

This has never been any problem for me. The new lens is more silent in general, but as I said, I haven't studied the OIS sound specifically. I doubt that you will find this a problem.Fredrik Gløcknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523430148487818493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-75182058012289349992013-08-27T15:08:34.123+01:002013-08-27T15:08:34.123+01:00Thank you very much, it's very kind of you to ...Thank you very much, it's very kind of you to give me an answer.
