Yes
Just watching a police interceptors show..., apparently the latest choppers have ANPR cameras that can read a plate at about 400 meters - must have some pretty impressive IS :eek:
 
They won't read the number on my plate at 400m with it.....they would have a job at 25m. I have a mate who brings his number plate out of his wallet if he needs it!

Who uses their own number anyway? :p Streetfighters forever:clap:

They like to make these kind of claims, such as being able to pick up your speed with a laser at a mile distance. Reality is different.
 
I suspect they're using a variation of the heligimbal (original developed for the military) that was used to shoot some of incredible sequences for Planet Earth, etc. The stability that offers would make reading a number plate at 400m childs play.
 
yep that looks highly likely, combine with in-camera stabalising as well no doubt. Thanks!
 
Nikon and Canon slipped up big-time not building the IS into the bodies... it's the one thing I really miss about my Olympus bodies... :'(
