But sorry I don’t want to spend $450 on a no IS prime lens.

Either give us an IBIS body or lenses with IS Canon.

Thank you for your inputs Marco. I agree with you that the iPhone is still inferior to an APSC camera. However, for taking video, stablization is much more important, and there is no excuse not to put IBIS into any modern camera at the moment.

Canon states IBIS is inferior because it affects exposure, color and image quality. Faster glass is literally better. You can't tell a person, animal or vehicle to sit still while your image stabilizer compensates for a lack of light. You'll get a blurred subject if it's moving. The iPhone, even with its OIS on recent models, suffers horrendously from this issue.

Because Canon states IBIS is inferior doesn't mean it's true. I think it's a lame excuse from their R&D deparment.

Sony did it 3 years ago, Nikon did it with their Z7, Panasonic did it, Fuji did it. Canon is the one left out. None of those cameras suffer from any noticeable downgrade in IQ.

I'm pretty sure Canon will put IBIS in their EOS R2. This stragery is not new. Apple used it a thousand times. Convincing their customers they don't need a particular function, then add it in future interation.

Even my $500 iPhone has OIS in it

You've either bought an Apple 6S+ or something more recent. The 8 has a good camera. The X is meant to be even better but we now know that's not entirely true. If you want something that comes CLOSE to what a modern DSLR or Mirrorless camera can do, you really need to look at a much more expensive model. And even then, low-light performance is still a serious problem. Apple compensates by applying very destructive noise-reduction and faking the shallow DOF effect using an algorithm that is too stupid to evaluate many scenes (see examples below). You'll need to use the HDR settings to come closer to the results of a decent APS-C camera+lens combo and if you do, you're then approaching the realm of artistic expression instead of scenic reproduction. Apple couldn't even offer OIS on the iPhone 6S although they did offer it on the much larger and more expensive 6S+ model that was released at the same time. I'm sorry but they don't really make shirt pockets that fit that larger size of phone... so I bought the 6S instead. As recent as August 22, 2018, websites were still comparing the iPhone 6 model with point-and-shoot cameras. You can see the difference and comparisons they used for entertainment purposes right HERE: https://wjla.com/features/7-on-your-side/7oys-point-and-shoot-vs-cell-phone-cameras

Yes I agree. The shallow DOF simualted by software is a joke.

OIS is the standard for any iPhones since iPhone 7 (‎released in September 2016)

The OIS of iPhone allows much slower shutter speed, hence improving IQ during low light and smooth out videos.

I bought the M50 to completely replace my iPhone in taking photos and videos. The M50 still cannot beat iPhone at taking videos at the moment because of laking of IBIS and 1080p 120fps (I don't really mind 4K).

The point I'm trying to make: There is no excuses for Canon not to put IBIS in their cameras.
