Does this lens have image stabilization? The press release for this 7-14mm lens states that it can be used in the DMC-GH1 to shoot HD video. But does it have image stabilization?

No, the image stabilization is in my Panasonic Lumix GX7 body, not in the 7-14mm lens. This system works fine and I like that it makes an already expensive lens, less expensive.

Image stabilization is a nice plus not a necessity. I use this lens a lot with great results. If the price is right go for it.

No, there is no stabilization built into the lens, it is designed for use with the Olympus line of micro 4/3 cameras having image stabilization built into the camera body. Although, it will mount to any micro 4/3 mount camera, and can be used, but will not have image stabilization unless that feature is built into the camera body as with Olympus PEN and OMD lines of cameras.

The Canon "18-135" IS STM is a OK to Good lens for Video because of the STM. But for Stills it is just OK. There's not a perfect lens out there. I don't buy kit lenses, cause for a little more $$ you get better lenses. BUT, you have to ask yourself, will you change lenses back and forth ? From long zooms/telephoto primes and back to short/medium zooms or primes ? OR, do you like leaving one lens on, or you just don't have a bunch of lenses to switch back & forth. The Sigma starts at 17mm the Canon at 18mm both have barrel distortion, but from 24mm to 70mm, yes the Sigma is better than the Canon, but the Canon has a longer reach to 135mm. DXO Labs has this new Sigma 17-70 Contemporary lens at almost the same numbers/performance as the $1100 Canon 17-55 f/2.8 ! That's how good this lens is. BUT, how well they do on Video Dslr cameras, I don't know ? Hope this helps.

I think you mean "image stabilization"? Yes, it does have an image stabilization option. The lens has a fast aperture of f/1.8 (meaning the lens opens wide to let in a lot of light) which can enable shooting in low light conditions with a decent shutter speed such that image stabilization may not be as critical as on other cameras.

With the GH3 (or any DLSR/still-type camera), you are typically limited to either prime lenses (set focal length) or manual zoom lenses. There aren't many powered zoom lenses available off the shelf. A conventional camcorder features a zoom lenses that makes it easy to smoothly zoom in and out on your subject while recording. A manual zoom makes it more difficult to zoom smoothly, giving it a choppy look during recording. Most pros advise against using too much zooming anyway. The GH3 is a killer camera for corporate video. I use it with prime and manual zoom lenses. Using the primes just means that you need to "zoom with your feet" - physically move the camera to frame your shot.

The 18-55mm lens does have image stabilization as indicated by the "IS" in the kit description. The 75-300mm lens does not, it is best to use the tripod for this lens.

No, with the dx format(40mm x 1.5) it is equivalent to a 60mm (35mm film format); which is considered a normal focal length lens. The special thing about this is lens is that you can get real close up. It is super sharp and takes great close up portraits as well as allowing you to take close ups of flowers jewelry and the usual stuff you might like to look at up close. No image stabilization :( but a bright f2.8

This lens does not have built-in stabilization. I don't believe that NEX-7 does either.

There's no image stabilization, but none is necessary with a lens this wide...in my opinion. FYI, it's a marvelous lens with tack-sharp results at all apertures.

No it is not an image stabilizer lens. For the money it is a great everyday lens. I have had some trouble with it on auto focus at 250mm. I would still recommend the lens.

If you look at DC Resource's review of 2009, you'll see that the 14-140 lens was the "Kit Lens" for the GH1 when it came out. See this link: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_gh1-review

No, all lenses designed for Minolta/Sony cameras don't have stabilization of any sort because that takes place in the camera. As such, all lenses are stabilized.

No, to my knowledge the pancake lens can't fit image stabilization inside. Here is a review http://m.dpreview.com/previews/panasonic_14_2p5_100-300_4-5p6

No. Canon does offer one with image stabilization, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive. You can google Canon lenses & see it & read its specs.
