Great! However, depending on your subject, for example any action sport, or
wildlife in motion, or BIF is not going to be helped by VR/IS/OIS, or IBIS
as neither ILIS, nor IBIS is going to do anything to stop/freeze subject
motion. What counts is technique, high speed, and inertial stability
imparted via subject tracking. Now if you are shooting handheld interiors,
handheld macro, handheld landscape, handheld portraits, or just find
yourself trapped in low light situations (but not all) then IBIS, VR/IS/OIS
is welcome. For my shooting I find that I survived without it for years of
shooting film, and I am glad to have it when needed, but can live without
it.

Now, if most Fuji lenses are IS, and that's what you use, no issue.

Currently most Fujinon lenses are not IS. Only one Fujinon prime has OIS,
the 80mm. Not all of the Fujinon zooms have OIS there are several such as
the XF16-50mm f/2.8 where it is notoriously absent, but it is still a great
and popular lens.

But it limits what you can do with non-IS lenses, adapted lenses. Though I
don't think Fuji mirror-less users are as much into adapting non-Fuji
lenses as m4/3rds and Sony users.

Actually there is quite a large Fujifilm adapted lens community, mostly
folks owning Leica, and Voigtlander glass for cameras which historically
had no concept of IS, or IBIS.


According to what I red the Nikon mirrorless has three way in body
stabilization. I forgot were I read it, but one commentator, thought
that you could bet of to five stops stabilization, with a stabilized FX
lens. This doesn't sound right to me, But, Nikon will have the camera, I
have both the patience and the money. I see no need to rush. I tariffs
push prices too high, I am happy to wait.


With most stabilization systems having both IBIS, and a stabilized lens does not
increase total stabilization. What I have read about the new Nikon MILC system
is, the IBIS is expected to provide approximately 3 stops depending on light
conditions, and camera exposure settings. None of the new native ā€™Sā€™ lenses
are stabilized, and using legacy VR glass with the adaptor will only use the
in-lens VR as IBIS is disabled. So there is no added advantage when using old VR
lenses.

....and if you are using a tripod, or gimbal when it comes to IBIS, or VR/IS/OIS
all bets are off.
