Panasonic HVX 200 vs. JVC 110

OIS = optical image stabilization. kind of a "consumer feature" in my opinion and hardly a reason to judge a pro camera. i circumvent focus issues with the HVX by using an external HD monitor and a bebob remote focus.

Well, try doing handheld ENG with the HVX and OIS off. You'll find that this feature is actually quite important in "professional" use.

If the HVX was shoulder mounted, however, OIS wouldn't be such an issue. In a Handheld form factor, OIS is very important.
 
i shot ENG type stuff for years without OIS and nobody ever complained - but then i cut my teeth on big-ass, heavy old betacams.

thats why im about to pull the trigger on about $2k worth of zacuto shoulder/rails kit... to try to get some of that control back
