5-axis stabilization is going to shake up the filmmaking world.<\/h2>\n

Sony has announced their new A7II<\/a>, a sibling to the popular A7S. The A7II has a powerful feature set and looks like a great multi-purpose photo\/video camera for under $2k. In this post we’ll look at a few of the cam’s features – notably the impressive 5-axis stabilizer.<\/p>\n

5-Axis Stabilization<\/h2>\n

The A7II is the first-full frame camera to have 5 axis in-camera stabilization. This means that even if your lens doesn\u2019t feature any stabilization you should be able to see a noticeably smoother image in both photographs and videos. Photographers will be able to\u00a0shoot at a slower shutter speed and still minimize camera shake. In fact, Sony is claiming that by using the built-in 5 axis stabilization you will be able to get 5 extra stops of image stabilization! Filmmakers will love this feature because it means you can get stabilized footage just from holding the camera by hand.<\/p>\n
