Does the body have an image stabilization system like the OM-D EM 1?

No, the body does not have image stabilization. Some of the lens do...the kit lens does but it isn't an ordinary kit lens. It is a superb piece of equipment.

Ah Grasshopper, As in most things in life, the answer depends on who you ask (says the old Kung-Fu matser as he strokes his long, white beard) The argument in favor of in-body image stabilization sounds very convincing on the surface: Pay for the extra cost just once, save on all existing lenses, or new lenses that follow. If you already have some good lenses from Pentax, Olympus or Minolta, then choosing a corresponding dSLR body with built-in image stabilization makes perfect sense. If not, then consider the following counter-arguments: 1. Good lenses (with or without IS) are often more expensive than a digital camera body, and have longer lifespan. Your digital camera body will most likely be obsolete in 4-5 years, but good lenses may serve you for 10 years or longer. So it makes less sense to pay extra for dSLR body with built-in IS. 2. Image stabilization is needed most at longer focus length, but in-body IS (mechanical moving the sensor) is only effective at shorter focus length. Let's assume that the sensor can travel up to 1mm in any direction. When focus length=50mm, this 1mm travel corresponse to 1.1 degree of angular rotation (correction for camera shake). But to achieve the same 1.1 degree correction at 300mm, the sensor needs to travel by 6mm! Even if this kind of travel were possible, the inertia of sensor unit will make the response very slow. With optical IS this is not a problem - because light has no inertia. 3. Optical IS gives you a stable image when you look through the optical view finder, so you know exectly how well it is working. Mechanical IS cannot give you a stable image through the optical view finder.

Shelley M, Yes, optical image stabilization is included on this model - and this lens would support that. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Hi - Just double-checked a couple of OM lenses on my Sony a7r using this adapter. I want to make sure I'm completely understanding the question: if you're asking whether there will be any vignetting of the image, the answer is no (except to the extent that a specific lens shows some light falloff at the edges, but that's not an adapter issue, and you'd have the same phenomenon on an OM film body). If the question is whether or not the image will be cropped (using the term to refer to the so-called "crop factor" associated with smaller-than-24x36 sensors): again, the answer's no. OM lenses are full-frame lenses, the a7 is a full-frame body - so no cropping of the image. Hope that's helpful! Hi - Just double-checked a couple of OM lenses on my Sony a7r using this adapter.

Yes ist does, the OM-D EM-5 is also a Micro Four Thirds Camera. See the small letters MFT on the Body of the Lens...

No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

In practice, it means your ISO needs to be a bit higher than it would with a stabilized lens in some cases. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me.I find that the stabilization with the EM5 is helpful at times, but it doesn't do anything to help with motion blur from moving subjects for example. The gm1 is the camera I reach for most often and the lack of stabilization isn't really even a consideration for me.

No, but if you buy the FE lenses by Sony they will have Image Stabilization built into the lens.

No, there is no stabilization built into the lens, it is designed for use with the Olympus line of micro 4/3 cameras having image stabilization built into the camera body. Although, it will mount to any micro 4/3 mount camera, and can be used, but will not have image stabilization unless that feature is built into the camera body as with Olympus PEN and OMD lines of cameras.

The image stabilization is in the lens, but yes, the two lenses that come in this kit are VR lenses with optical stabilization.

No, the image stabilization is in my Panasonic Lumix GX7 body, not in the 7-14mm lens. This system works fine and I like that it makes an already expensive lens, less expensive.

Susan, the anser is "yes" and "no". This camera has lenses with image stabilized capability, and the camera has modes to help with motion stability, but it's not the same as the lens stabilization.

Sorry, the J28 doesn't have optical image stabilization. It just raises the shutter speed... and probably the ISO (giving you a noisier and more grainy image in the process). In general, any camera that offers "anti-blur mode" doesn't actually use optical or sensor based image stabilization.

I can't really answer that since my camera has image stabilization. Quality is great on my end

Hi Miguel A., yes this Sony E-mount lens SELP18105G has Image Stabilization - Optical SteadyShot. -Ey

The optical image stabilization used for still images is very good. The sensor is an older version of current sensors (this is a $250 body) so it has some noise. The digital stabilization for video is about what one would expect. On a tripod, the camera gives excellent video. Hand-held, it isn't as good as a dedicated video camera (as one would expect). It's a good camera for the price IMO. A nice, impartial review can be found at dpreview dot com. I added an excellent Richard Franiec handgrip to the too-smooth body. (Google him if you're interested).

That's the big problem with this camera, there's no image stabilization... Not even for non moving subjects... I have te same issue...I'm very disappointed with this camera and the money I spent on it.
