From the same article at FujiRumors:
"One more tidbit about IBIS discussed in the video:
"Implementing IBIS would have made the camera bigger, but not that much. The numbers I heard in the video were 3mm thicker, but also a bit larger and higher."
"Apparently the increase in body size would still be acceptable for Fujifilm. The problem would have been the lens, as in order to cover the entire sensor plus the area in which the sensor can move due to IBIS, the lens would have become significantly bigger. And since compactness was paramount for Fujifilm when developing the GFX100RF, they decided not to go with IBIS. The body size increase would have still been acceptable, but not the lens size."
I do not know if that statement is conjecture by the guys who made the video - 75 minutes and in German - or if it was verified by Fuji engineers.
Nice post.... In my opinion, IBIS was not an option for this fixed lens GFX Q4 (like the Leica Q series which went with OIS on the lens to keep it small). However, I guarantee you that Fuji agonized over this. They wanted an F2.8 lens that had OIS. But they decided it made the lens too big and clunky looking and it changed the sexiness ratio that will be so important for that camera.
But I can dream how ecstatic would have been if the GFX Q4 had an F2.8 OIS lens that was bigger - probably a good bit bigger.
