In-camera IS at long focal lengths

[Sushigaijin]

You guys are ALL right.

It is a benefit of lens based systems that you get a stabilized viewfinder, and the EVF of any stabilized oly m4/3 camera will be stabilized also.

The EVFs of my sonys were stabilized when the IS was on, and it was a noticeable difference when shooting loooong telephoto - but much of that is cleared up by the SLR view...I think that part of the advantage is not having to wait for a slow refreshing LCD. The eye is much faster.

As to the answer to "dialing in" focal lengths, I am positive that the other systems automatically adjust for compatible lenses as the olympus does also. The "dialing in" is support for incompatible or legacy lenses. As to legacy and incompatible support with other systems, I don't know.
