Sony currently rolls with Olympus IBIS (one in A7 MK2). Otherwise it is called SSS and they inherited it from Minolta (system in dSLR/SLTs). First use was in KM-7D (which I own). By the way, its pretty good system even in KM-7D.

To be fair, Nikon's VR actually works well at focal lengths greater than 100mm... IBIS, not so much.

This is interesting. I was really considering a k3 and DA 300 option for wildlife in the past, but didn't want to be married to the tc most of the time. I'm glad to see Pentax stepping up there game and filling an obvious gap in their lineup.

They have a nice 560/5.6 lens:

They've updated the roadmap to include a 24-70ish DFA (full frame) lens, and a wide FF lens (15mm-30mm FL?)

They seem to be quite serious about FF.
Link to the roadmap here :

Impressive what they want to launch - I hope that new camera sells well enough to establish further Pentax FF cameras.

Few weeks ago a former Pentax DSLR shooter asked me wheter I know someone who sells a Canon EOS 5DII - probably now he could rethink this and go back to Pentax?
