Now, Rob, think about what you just said.
No one has claimed that Pentax is going to retrofit IS to the *istD. If they build a camera with IS in the body they can well choose a sensor that can do that. Remember the rumor I reported here that Pentax is working on designing and producing their own sensors.
Of course that is one of the advantages to IS in the lens, it works with older cameras. It is apparently also far more precise, going by those video cameras again.

Tell that to the video camera makers, they apparently don't know that.
The difference is the type of sensor in the *ist D (and I suspect most other cameras of similar capability) reads the full frame and can only read the frame 3 times a second. Any sensor for feedback has to be much quicker than this response time.
