Years and years ago no cameras had ibis or anything like it. Nothing on the lenses either. Go back in time and look at the fantastic sharp picture. 1940s to 1990.

Well daytime at f8 is not too demanding

IBIS sounds very useful,...for a very very specific shot. Very dark still life where your hand is the best support. Not handy for other shots where the subject might move or the shutter speed is above 1/30sec or you have a monopod.

It's not even handy for long telephoto where every movement is magnified a lot so lens stabilization is needed. The more I read this thread, the more specific and limited IBIS sounds. A gimmick to sell bodies with over hyped "you need IBIS" marketing. I need it as much as I need one of those 1980's zig zag decorative car antennas glued to the camera.

I don't think that's an accurate conclusion. When we had our first R5 we had an R as well. The keeper rate with the R5 improved and the ability to shoot a stop less shutter speed.

That's not a gimmick it's a system that is actively delivering positive results.
