I have to admit that the concept of a camera featuring all the bells and whistle associated with the current crop of high end digital cameras (video, IBIS, etc.) but hobbled with manual focus and an M mount is a rather bizarre one to me too. The word conradictory comes to mind. Its a bit like uprating a car with more powerful engine, adding a turbo, uprating suspension, and more, but then insisting that it retains an ancient three speed manual gearbox. Entertaining? Well yes, as is proven by the length of this thread.😆

Exactly .

Well put.

A "dogs dinner" in other words .

The Leica monitoring of camera position is likely done by the same sensors that are used to show the leveling information in all cameras. IBIS does not use those sensors as it does not care about difference to leveled position, which is important for perspective correction.

That‘s exactly what the gyro sensor is for. It‘s just a matter of precision and the number of axis that are messured if you are able to present the data for a pitch and roll overlay graphic or crop and straighten the image.

You can do different things with this data: trying to hold the position when the shutter is  pressed. Control the perspektive or to level the horizon like Leicas cooperation partner Insta360 with their „flowstate“ stabilization.

But no one outside Leica knows if this has anything to do with the rumored M11-V …

Gyro sensors measure angular velocity not angular position.

Correct, the devices that are actually used typically combine a gyro, magnetometer and accelerometer, or combination thereof.

This means that it cannot be used for perspective correction.

I'm guessing that for perspective correction you only need a tilt sensor, but this is achievable by the use of the combined devices I mentioned above. Here is some info on how it all works.

I see nothing about cameras there - It all sounds applicable to industrial use.

it is clear from literature that the sensor only moves in the X and Y axis and rotates. It does not tilt. I seriously doubt whether Leica will ever put 5-axis stabilization in an M- if at all. Simply no space for it.

Oh dear, my reply was regarding a question about Perspective Control, not IBIS.

Also, these types of sensors are used in mobile phones and other similar applications. perhaps you missed the first paragraph.

"

Though MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology has been on the job for about two decades in airbag deployment and automotive pressure sensors, it took the motion-sensing user interfaces featured in the Nintendo® Wii® and the Apple® iPhone® to catapult broad awareness of what inertial sensors can do.

Well, I do not see how PC could work with a moving sensor - just think of the distances and angles needed - I think that it is a pure digital manipulation based on position sensors- borne out by the fact that it sends an untouched DNG (with instructions) and applies it to the JPG in-camera. That would not be possible were it a mechanical thing.

They are tiny solid state devices not mechanical devices in the traditional sense. Please see https://www.mems-exchange.org/MEMS/what-is.html

To give you an idea of size here is an extract from the first paragraph of the above doc.

"

The critical physical dimensions of MEMS devices can vary from well below one micron on the lower end of the dimensional spectrum, all the way to several millimeters.

And here's a Chat GPT description of how they are used for IBIS, including a reference to Nikon.

"

Yes, IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) systems, often found in cameras and lenses, do utilize MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology for their operation, specifically in the form of MEMS-based accelerometers and gyroscopes. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

What is IBIS?

IBIS is a camera stabilization system that compensates for camera shake by moving the sensor or lens to counteract unwanted motion. 

How MEMS Sensors are Used:

Accelerometers and Gyroscopes: IBIS systems use MEMS-based accelerometers to detect linear acceleration (movement in a straight line) and gyroscopes to detect angular acceleration (rotation). 

Motion Detection: These sensors continuously monitor the camera's movement, providing real-time data about shake and vibrations. 

Stabilization: Based on the data from the MEMS sensors, the IBIS system then activates actuators (usually small motors) to move the sensor or lens, effectively stabilizing the image. 

Benefits of MEMS in IBIS:

Compact Size and Low Power: MEMS sensors are incredibly small and consume very little power, making them ideal for use in cameras and lenses. 

High Accuracy: MEMS sensors offer high accuracy in detecting motion, ensuring precise stabilization. 

Versatility: MEMS sensors can be used to detect a wide range of motions, including linear and angular movements, making them suitable for various IBIS applications. 

Example:

Nikon's IBIS system, for example, utilizes MEMS sensors to detect and compensate for shake in five axes: X, Y, pitch, yaw, and roll.

I don’t trust anything that ChatGPT spouts. Sorry. I regard AI generated stuff as highly suspicious. To start with IBIS does not move a lens as this particular bit of nonsense tells us. 
And yes, I said that PC uses minisensor input to do a digital manipulation and thus has nothing to do with IBiS which is a physical shift of the sensor. And this “ authority “ does not even know the difference between OIS and IBIS. And no, OIS does not move lenses, it moves a lens element or a lens group. 
Five Axis IBIS does not originate from Nikon, but from Olympus.

It's quite amusing how this thread has veered off into so many unrelated topics because all the speculation about the EVF M or Leica M-V has fizzled out.  I wonder how many other topics we need to keep the thread alive until May 3rd?

I am just wondering what the US price would be before local taxes for any new M in May 2025? 

M's have just gotten very expensive just like new Phase One items became.

Every time I read an answer from ChatGPT or Gemini, I realise what it is like to be mansplained to.

Never heard of that word, but then I try to selfexplain things.
