Samsung could add on sensor IBIS on future cameras!

The Sony sensor stabilization graph

According to one of our Samsung sources there could be soon IBIS on NX cameras

I just got the news that samsung is working on a in body stabilizer for future nx products. I don’t know when it’s ready, but it won’t be implemented on a flagship camera, initially (but rather on a lower end model)!

This certainly makes a lot of sensor. ON sensor stabilization from Olympus and Sony proved to be quite effective. It’s a must have feature that Samsung needs to remain attractive.
