You could still have a shakey hand.

Yep I was thinking the same thing too.

And OMGOSH anti-shake technology in a camera? Wow! This is truly technology of the future. Did you also know that television sets come in color? I shit you not! lol

it's cool. just take it outside into the environment. and take more hours of photoshop.

I agree, I mean I have no idea of the budget, but if this were a full environment and someone bolted to a tree or something these would be a lot more impactful. But then again, it' much easier to art direct an ad thats finished.

stateoftheart's picture 181 pencils

i think they're getting their arms and hands mixed up.

MonsieurD.'s picture 42 pencils

Hummm... idea its ok. Bad art direction.

Marc G's picture 20 pencils

sumbody's picture 136 pencils

ahpitt's picture 350 pencils

No surprise!

sonucoues2002's picture 790 pencils

gud idea

StuartLittle's picture 468 pencils

Visual conveys the wrong message. Camera is so unreliable that after having ur arm tied ur hand may still shake.

Adaddicted's picture 763 pencils

Not at all honest to the statement.

wickedcheese's picture 84 pencils

All hail the power of a tripod!

EddieZhao210004's picture 68 pencils

oh, wrong concept! Image stability system or anti-arm-shake system? No insight! I guess they dont know what the anti-shake system is.

tamer samy's picture 233 pencils

awesome..

kshitijsalve's picture 25 pencils

This doesn't make sense... if the technology is anti-shake, why nail the hand???

funky_frogii's picture 2142 pencils

i think a tripod stand used in difficult places,
would this be better?

love anything creative

Anti-handshake? agree with many comments above, execution failed...

pushpy's picture 21 pencils

learn more about camera. But atleast you guys tried something.

Mai_Maged's picture 123 pencils

creative idea ;)

Creativity is simplicity

uvendire's picture 28 pencils

why is anti-handshake important as a feature of a camera?
what is the benefit of anti-handshake to SLR users?

I am looking for a camera to own and olympus with this ad is far from motivating me for their brand.
Creatively this idea reminds us a lot the canon "steady shot" capaign (cheeta, the baseball player...) which is a great campaign to me.

Olympus, however with "the fastest autofocus" ad, did really good. Remember?

mara's picture 66 pencils

Try using a robotic hand instead. At least it adds a twist to it.

mansoor khan's picture 35 pencils

nice idea

mrtalented's picture 2181 pencils

silly

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

anti-shake?

I thought it's too heavy.

LAMESTEST!

puppiepoppy's picture 1582 pencils

The ad reads this...

With this shitty camera, you need to bolt your hand to get a decent picture.

I'm SOOOOOO not buying this camera.

"Bowww Wowww"

Umberto Vonspiel's picture 81 pencils

Yep. It's somehow frightening.

Marcela Cáceres's picture 112 pencils

Too literal and looks awful... Someone was very tired when they got this brief...

LTFournier's picture 64 pencils

badddddddd

homutmiranda's picture 37 pencils

guys, it doesn't matter if the hand will still shake even the arm is locked. What really matters is putting an abstract & simple idea onto paper, not too much logic! i think the creative directors have done a quite good job in conveying the message for the brand as well as connecting consumers with the brand. However, they should perhaps push a bit harsher on the execution, for instance, asking themeselves possible reverse responses & admit the business world does not have much room for idealism.

jamshed_nawaz's picture 10 pencils

dont know who was inspired first....similar concept - different POV. by canon or viceversa by olympus
