...all future Canon ILC cameras will have the feature as well...
I'm wondering if it would be more of a video focused Electronic IBIS similar to what it being used on the new C500 Mark II. This could be added to "any" ILC without significant hardware issues...as floating sensor IBIS has normally been limited to mirrorless systems. There are people arguing that this electronic IBIS can actually be more accurate, especially when combined with lens IS, as the gyro information being used is "actual" rather than predictive. Don't know if that's completely true, (electronic stabilization benefits from higher shutter speeds, which negates its usefulness in still shooting), but certainly, the computational side is the direction that most manufacturers are starting to look at.
It does have the best video specs of any DSLR though. They might consider IBIS based on that alone. As you said it has no tangible benefits for sports and wildlife(except for a few specific cases-bird portraits etc)Adding to this:
If Canon were putting IBIS in the 1DxIII they would have made a big deal about it in their development announcement.
Not even sure why IBIS would be a priority for the 1DxIII line -- it's not a benefit for sports or other action.
Sony just released the a92. It is way behind the 1dx3 in most areas. So no. Sony will not release something that is going to outclass the 1dx3 any time soonBy the time this camera hits the market, the specs it has will be oldscool.
Sony will be far far ahead of the game with another mirrorless camera that makes Canon shiver.
And yes, I am a Canon user. Seeing colleagues making the switch to camera's that are as sharp as a knife.
Making me look like an amateur with not even half the sharpness these small Sony's can achieve.
And please, stop framing me as an idiot. The truth hurts, and Canon needs to step up.
Increase RND, decrease prices.
We're going to have an IBIS on Canon DSLRs within next.... 10 years.
I've heard Canon will have IBIS, IS and EIS combined.
IBIS - In Body Image Stabilization
IS - Image stabilization (in the lens)
EIS - Electronic Image Stebilization (done by software)
Exactly.. I'm affraid so..
Sony only has to launch a silent mirrorless pro body just before Canon brings the MK III to market and Canon (camera dept.) will be out of business.

Count me as a skeptic. Whatever Canon does decide to do, it is usually top notch, so if this shows up in the 1D line, I will be excited. But they also tend to release new tech on lower end models first and whatever makes to the 1Dx is proven/bulletproof. Example, DPAF came in first on the 70D, I believe.
If IBIS was coming to the 1D line, I would have thought we would have seen in on the M6II or 90D.
Yes, I did think about video. I still doubt this rumor, but if they did put it into the 1Dx III, I think it would be primarily to make it a more attractive camera for video shooters. And, since the few remaining professional photojournalists out there are increasingly expected to bring back both stills and video, features that would make it easier for still shooters to switch to video when needed might be a priority for the 1 series.It does have the best video specs of any DSLR though. They might consider IBIS based on that alone. As you said it has no tangible benefits for sports and wildlife(except for a few specific cases-bird portraits etc)
I seem to remember that all RF lenses with IS have 5 stops of stabilization.
I have a healthy dose of scepticism about this as well. Introducing an unproven(for canon in terms of durability) feature into a camera that cannot afford failures would surprise me. perhaps though. It is not an impossibilityYes, I did think about video.

Plus, think of the timelines.....
Why would you only introduce new features in the body with the longest refresh cycles? Doesn't it make more sense to introduce something on the next body to get released? For example, look at flicker detection. It came out on the 7D2. Every body after that has the feature. Touch screen interface came out in low end bodies. If we were waitiong for it to come out in a 1 series body, then we would still be waiting. Then we have articulated screens, which most camera owners, with the notable exception of most 1 series users and many 5 series users, regard as a useful tool. Since it won't be on a 1 camera, should nobody get it?
