fenykepesz Posted May 26 Share #3 Posted May 26 nop, not at all - though in theory it would make sense with 60MP. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscdsc Posted May 27 Share #4 Posted May 27 IBIS is a nice to have but not required. been shooting without it for a few decades now. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted May 27 Share #5 Posted May 27 (edited) It’s useful but not essential. It would be an impressive feat of engineering to cram it into an M body I think. That is the one restriction that Leica have that most other companies don’t: Leica cannot change the M basic form. Compare Hasselblad and the X2D: It’s a fabulous camera to use because they could design it from scratch without trying to keep it within the accepted dimensions of a historic camera. The available solution - to mount M glass on an SL - is available for those who want it. Edited May 27 by Kiwimac 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakontil Posted May 27 Share #6 Posted May 27 Nope and never miss one on M.. i had the X2D with a great ibis..the only thing i miss over it was the ability to shoot handheld at 2s.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted May 27 Share #7 Posted May 27 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes and no. The M without IBIS works fine and is an excellent photographic tool, much better than some other cameras with IBIS. However, adding IBIS would allow longer exposures in some instances, which would be beneficial in low light. When I plan to shoot Sensorio at night, I cannot use the M11.

Fgcm Posted May 27 Share #8 Posted May 27 Deal breaker for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillavoider Posted May 27 Share #9 Posted May 27 of course it has, with 60mp its a constant compromise, its not that some people have magical hands and technique, its just facts and physics same issue with fuji 100mp RF 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonzatkl Posted May 27 Share #10 Posted May 27 Yes, for me it's a downside. I have to use much faster shutter speeds to ensure I get sharp images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF’sDelight Posted May 27 Share #13 Posted May 27 No. And also 24 MP were sufficient. 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 27 Share #14 Posted May 27 Obstacle to slow shutter speeds here. I don't use my M11 for speeds slower than 1/(2f)s. I kept my M240 for that. Not a huge issue but the M11 is the first M since the 50s to suffer from that. It has excuses but i won't buy the M12 or a possible EVF-M if Leica doesn't fix this issue with IBIS or otherwise. YMMV. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to use much faster shutter speeds to ensure I get sharp images. Image stabilisation when you have good enough high iso, at the price of bigger body with higher energy consumption doesn’t make any sense to me. Just keep 1/2 focal length as minimum shutter speed and compensate with film speed. Main reason for me to stick with leica is that it gives you access to essential controls to make a picture, no extra programs, countless buttons, maze-like menus. You may call me a luddite radical but I believe there’s room for some more cuts in D line 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want sharpness at the pixel level, I use 1/2f for 24MP and 1/4f for 60MP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterKelly Posted May 27 Share #19 Posted May 27 Yes At 76 years old my hands are not as steady as they once were. I compensate by using high shutter speeds which obviously limits low light shooting. If IBIS could be incorporated in future M bodies without much change in size and layout I would be a happy camper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
