>>4330945OP here. To be honest, the use of this camera is tbd. At a minimum I want to be able to shoot shots like the pic related in my first post. I could rent, but I may need to take my time to get the hang of things and that could take a few weeks as I find pockets of time to work on this.
Looking at videos on Youtube, it seems like I'll be okay without IBIS. "Lens stabilization" and "digital stabiliation and Final cut pro stabilization seem to make the issue a lot better. My initial goals will all be accomplished with a Tripod anyways since its all going to be a 1 man workflow. If I end up needing IBIS I can always trade up. It seems these cameras hold their value pretty well and I'm pretty good and eBay and all that shit.
