Do you think the IBIS on the DX lenses can match the performance of a Nikon DSLR body that has IBIS? (and not needing a lenses with IBIS itself:?)

Nikon VR lenses can give one up to 4 stops of camera shake reduction if one does their part regards hand holding technique. Nikon DSLR'S do not have IBIS

I am not aware of IBIS in any Nikon DSLR body.

EDIT: Oops, forgot about the D500 .

.. It's been more than 20 years since I did ibis and that was with an Olympus point and shoot:

I should think with Nikon kit, be it DX or FX, results should be much better.

IBIS stands for In Body Image Stabilisation.

Nikon does not use this technology in any of their DSLR bodies.

By definition, IBIS is not used in any lens of any make.

Nikon do have what they call VR (Vibration Reduction) in their lenses, DX and FX. VR provides about a 4 stop improvement in camera shake, which is about industry standard.

As a poster in that thread pointed out: "It is digital image stabilization, not physical in body VR like in Olympus, Sony and some other cameras", and I might add that this kind of stabilisation is not normally referred to as IBIS.

There are no Nikon DSLR cameras with IBIS.

Isn't VR nikons eqivalent to lens stabilization?

VR (Vibration Reduction) is Nikon's name for image stabilization achieved by moving optical elements within their lenses.

The D500 thread I linked to above is talking about stabilizing video using digital image processing which is different technology from the typical lens or body based mechanical image stabilization. I edited my reply to mention the D500 due to your apparent loose use of the term IBIS. I apologize for any additional confusion my reply has caused you. I should have ended my edit and reply title with a smiley face :-) indicating humor was involved.

IBIS means In-Body-Image-Stablization. Sony has this. Nikon and Canon use stabilization IN THE LENS. Some lenses have it, some don't. There are other lenses that have image stabilization under different names - like VR for Nikon, IS for Canon, OS for Sigma, VC for Tamron, etc.

So Nikons DX lenses with VR, that's only digital stabilization? Meaning software based into the lens? Wow I totally wasn't aware of that, I am dissapointed (cause we all know digital stabilization is not real legit stabilization and it's far inferior to optical stabilization).

No, no - Nikons lenses are not digital stabilization. They are optically stabilzed.
