pgeobc Posted April 1, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted April 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I guess that I am amazed at the IS on this little camera. I have no way to formally test lens resolution, but have developed a set of shots that I take with new cameras and then scan and enlarge in Photoshop to see how well they stand up. Not too scientific, but it gives me an small insight into what is going on. I do the very same pictures over and over. Â Well, I took my X1 out and took part of the series, but I left the IS "on" and only hand held it. Great pics that witstood quite a bit of enlargment on the computer. Then, I turned the IS "off," placed the X1 on a tripod and took the same pictures, from the same vantage point. The IS was turned off because of other reports that using IS on a tripod actually increases blur. Â Well, the hand-held images with IS were better than the tripod images! I do not know what to think about that. What really worries me is the degree of enlargement in photoshop equals or exceeds some of my Hasselblad and Rollei images. Maybe I sould simply sell all the heavy-duty stuff and stick with Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allnm Posted April 1, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted April 1, 2011 I didn't think mounting it on a tripod would affect IS because there are n motors shifting anything about. It just takes 2 images at different shutter speeds and combines them It does it very well too Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldwatkins Posted April 2, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted April 2, 2011 I turned it off simply to ensure I was getting what the sensor actually recorded. I'll need to reconsider my thought process... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
