IBIS is it a advantage (1 Viewer)

[Wainb]

As a casual bird photographer I was looking into that advantage of having IBIS (in Body image stablelization).for distance bird photography hand held.
I noticed that the canon r7 has it but the r10 does not.
Will it make a lot of difference to a amateur bird photographer like myself when using 400m plus lenses

For photography using long lenses, having IS in the lens is usually good enough.
Shooting action/moving subjects you still might need high shutter speeds, and IS is more about getting a stable view.

For video, wanting the most stable footage with a long lens, (and also when walking around, vlogging etc.) IS + IBIS can be an advantage (depending on the lens there might be limitations on IS+IBIS).

But as usual, people will argue..

Its well documented that having image stabilization wether in just the lens, in body or even a combination of both is beneficial. Having in body image stabilization allows lenses without IBIS to be used at much lower shutter speeds and still retain excellent sharpness.

When you can get really sharp images hand holding an 800mm telephoto I know it’s good.

As Vespobuteo quite rightly says, some will argue.
