I've been thinking about this. As MP counts keep climbing, and they probably won't stop at 60MP, the need for IBIS starts to matter more. Not because subjects are suddenly more likely to blur, but because any blur becomes much more obvious. Blur is blur, the amount does not change, but on a 60-100MP sensor it is far more noticeable than it ever was (is) on film or even on the early 10-18MP digital bodies.
That is likely why this was never really an issue in the past. Film shooters lived (live) with it, and early digital shooters barely noticed it. A small amount of blur from slower shutter speeds, mixed with real organic grain (not noise), often added a cool aesthetic. Today everything is much cleaner and sharper, so it stands out more. At some point though, with these megapixel monsters, it does start to matter.
The solutions are pretty simple. Either lower-MP bodies are perfectly fine (24-45MP seems to be the compromise), or IBIS becomes essential to keep up with that high resolution...
Yep for a lot of reasons IBIS is the path of least resistance to higher image quality. Through multi-shot also higher mpx in some circumstances. Also the path to a smother better EVF rear screen experience.My most desired feature currently missing from M cameras. Next would be faster processor and sensor for silent shooting, again smoother EVF with better focus aids, maybe mor flexible flash, and better management of the increasingly prevelant LED lighting. Alsi faster boot times for fewer missed opportunities.
So for classic RF focusing, IBIS is basically invisible but would provide less blurry images in certain conditions.
In addition IBIS only reduces the shake/movement the photographer produces. In a way it only replaces the sturdy tripod (for this it is very helpful). But it does nothing to reduce the movement of objects or people in the image.
