Just one little thing to consider - though I don't know how true it is now with the latest cameras - but leaving IBIS on with high shutter speeds can result in a softness to the image. Anything over 1/250, you're probably best off making sure IBIS is off, as a general rule of thumb, in my experience. (Though depending on the focal length you might want to ignore that too!).

In general, stabilization helps provide a stabilized view finder, even at higher shutter speeds. Some people even get motion sick with out stabilization using a longer lens which we don't have in this case. I've not seen an issue with stabilization and high shutter speeds. Not for optical stabilization and not for in body stabilization. These issues were addressed long ago.

Actually you need to turn off IBIS ( in body ) when you are panning - say following a bird- while shooting. Otherwise, the camera initiates IBIS to compensate for the movement and that results in lost sharpness in the final image.

Lens stabilization is another story and many tele lenses have a dedicated button on the barrel you use to specify you are panning. Otherwise, the stabilization may work against you....

So you are saying that Fuji cameras lack pan detection, a feature that everyone else had had for a long time.

I don’t own a Fuji ( yet) and if Fuji cameras do indeed detect panning and turn off IBIS automatically then great!

This has to be done manually on many cameras including my Pentax. ( and previous Nikon)
