How about the ability to turn on lens IS with body IS turned off? It seems it would be so simple to implement.

Do you not think many of the systems would be affected?

How so? The IBIS already is locked if lens IS is turned off. So what would be so difficult about keeping it locked if some firmware switch were enabled instead? Six of one, half a dozen of the other, it seems to me. What am I missing?

I don't think Sony or Nikon allow it either (from a quick Google search), so that would suggest they have seen something they can't easily circumvent. I think its reasonable to believe there is an underlying obstruction to allowing freedom of IS/IBIS.
