Sony has incorporated In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) in their cameras for many years while Canon first bring the IBIS last year into their camera (Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6). So the question, is Sony’s IBIS better than Canon’s?
The-Digital-Picture has completed an exhaustive IBIS comparison between the Sony a1 and Canon EOS R5 to find out the results. You can find the IBIS capabilities of the Canon R5 (Amazon, B&H, Adorama) against the Sony a1 (Amazon, B&H, Adorama).
According to the IBIS test results, both cameras perform extremely well, and the Canon EOS R5 performs just a little bit better (1/3 – 2/3 stop advantage), but the difference between the two is not that big.
From The-Digital-Picture :
Mostly, I experience a 1/3 – 2/3 stop advantage with the Canon camera. That difference is not dramatic, and the bottom line is that IBIS is valuable in both camera brands. This feature adds substantially to the versatility of non-stabilized lenses, such as the 50mm f/1.2 models tested here. IBIS is one more reason to love the latest mirrorless camera models.
