A lot of comments about no IBIS. It says in the rumours IBIS not installed

I think it's prepared for IBIS mechanically but you need to pony up in a firmware update to activate it.

Sadly I think not, if you refer to the google translate link above, it seems like it's simply no-IBIS. Though a Japanese native speaker could perhaps comment what it actually means.

Using my knowledge of the Chinese script, in literal translation it says "Does not include IBIS"

I think every other feature listed (4K60, Clog3, 6K->4k supersample, 40fps shooting) allows for a camera with more uses than just having IBIS alone. And if I were in the market for a new camera, I'd pick those over IBIS.
