Sorry to hijack the thread.

Any recommendation for Nikon DSLR camera model with the following features:
- Built-in antishake
- Live View (good to have not a must)
- In-body autofocus
- Not full frame

Thanks.

Sony is a better fit for you.

Nikon n Canon dslrs do not have built-in stabiliser in body.

For Nikon non full frame, get D7100. If not D7000 around $600+ for used one.

There is no built-in antishake for all Nikon DSLR bodies. VR is found in all Nikkor lens.

Just go to the Nikon website look for bodies that can support D lens or stated that it is a Lens servo in the body. However for highest speed focus, you will want to go for AF-S lens.

Thanks.

Any comment why Sony will be a better fit for me?

Thanks. How does D7100 fair in sport photography?

Sony using EVF and Nikon using OVF so maybe you would need to check which one you prefer.

Try also to have a grip on the DSLR before buying.

You may also want to check up Sony Mirrorless Camera.

I checked that Sony Mirrorless Cameras are also lens-based image stabilization.

Just to set your expectation right. Whether its lens based stabilisation or sensor based stabilisation, it wouldn't fight the physics where if your subject are moving, they will be blur unless you use fast enough shutter speed to freeze the images.

There are so many lens for Nikon or Canon or other branding out there with in-lens stabilisation if you really so need them. I have so often work with 24-70 f/2.8 without any stabilisation at all and when in focus, all my images are sharp.

When at night, use a tripod or monopod. Image Stabilisation will do very little good. The only time I really find image stabilisation really useful is on my 70-200 f/2.8 when on the long end.

For Optical VF, in-lens stablisation is the only way to observe stable images when the stabiliser is active.

For EVF, sensor stabilisation works since you will never see through the glasses with your naked eyes.

In my opinion, OVF are more superior than EVF because at the moment, no digital sensors have better exposure dynamic range than our pair of human eyes. I see more things in the dark with my pair of eyes across the OVF and hence makes better judgement in composition compared to the noisy EVF in low-light condition. :)

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Yes, I read that both lens-based and in-built antishake perform similarly.

Some photographers don't believe in stabilization.....................:D

As long as your shutter speed is fast enough, you should be OK but then it's also depend on what you are shooting.......................:)

Either you know your tool or you don't know it. :) it is not about believe or not. Know what the stabilisation helps in
