Ok, so this is a spin off of another thread but more of a direct question..

If you had a chance to ask Canon, would you prefer to make advancements in Image Stabilization or high ISO performing sensors?

As a people photographer I would prefer high ISO as I need to freeze movement and often shoot in dark situations but that's not to say I don't use IS I do but give me massive ISO any day...


The camera is just a storage box, it's the gLass in front that makes the image...

As said in the other thread it all comes down to what you shoot.

Personally, advancements in ISO would be more important to me but ultimately I would like both.

which camera are you using? ISO has advanced tremendously in the past few years, and so has IS for that matter.

Add another one in..I would like auto white balance to vastly improve as I think Nikon are far better than Canon in this field, Nikon whites are just so well.. white but the image does retain a warm feel to skin tones.

Shoot in raw then AWB isn't an issue.

5D3-5D2-5DC-1DS2..24-105 and 70-200 f2.8IS mk2....sometimes 12800iso and 4 stops of IS aint enough, 25600iso on 5D3 is too noisy for me even after clean up.

Only shoot RAW but Canon tones are a lot warmer from AWB in general and editing 700+ images a day in various light gets a bit tiring, hence would like like Canon to improve the AWB
