> I still fail to see the point of sensor shift when almost all consumer lenses have stablization.

If this turns out to be true, then I expect there will be a non-stabilized kit lens to go along with the new body. Perhaps a non-stabilized telephoto zoom as well.

will this camera have a digital or analog reflex system?! i prefer single-image-preview to single-lens-reflex which means an errorless mirrorless camera.

stabilization is achieved by continuous sensor oscillation, with the processor analysing the scene b4 producing any cr@p blurry output, i shall email these innovations to nikon should canon delay their implementation.

The patent language allows that they may have figured out how to integrate the body IS with the lens IS, allowing not only a gain for non-IS lenses, but potentially adding to the stabilization already present.

Fish eyes?
Non-Canon lenses?
All lenses stabilized vs. “almost all” lenses stabilized?

It smells like “Oh, Sony has +9% growth during 3 years while we end it with -X%… let’s see what Sony has and we don’t…. sensor stabilization? This must be a key! Let’s copy it to our DSLRs – we’ll become rich!” – lol

I still fail to see the point of sensor shift when almost all consumer lenses have stablization. This would make much more sense in a pro body to use in conjuction with non-IS primes.

I think Canon hears the marketing train coming on sensor-shift stabilization.

It’s one feature that cheap Sonys have that cheap Canons don’t. And maybe they figured that Sony, unlike Pentax and Olympus, has the marketing muscle to make something of this.

And Canon can use SSS to separate themselves from Nikon also, at least for a while.

Also, maybe Canon is figuring that down the road, they can make more money selling larger quantities of cheaper lenses without IS.

A pro buying a lens that costs thousands of dollars probably doesn’t care about the difference in cost between non-IS and IS lenses. But amateurs do.

Nikon are already planning to. Expect that they're both 'racing to the punch' so to speak.

If thats true, then I will take back what I said ever about Nikon never making this jump! But Nikon always claimed that the advantages of in lens stabilizing had way more advantages (can be seen through the viewfinder for instance). Who knows, maybe they will all find that EVF’s are the way to go, and then we will see all bodies get stabilized.

¿May have sensor shift stabilization?
