IS is for wimps. LOL
Okay could not resist.
Actually doing IS would seriously make the lenses bigger and bulkier and certainly add more costs. Besides that battery issues may arise to shortening a already short life on these cams. MF takes a lot of juice just to run and the more things you have fighting for power than things will get slower than they already are. Really we are just starting to see raw throughput increase with sensors over 31 mpx . The S2 and P40+ backs are examples of increasing shooting speed and this just started to come to life over the 31 mpx mark. On paper the s2 is pretty darn fast with shooting speeds and also just for example my P30+ back is 1.5 seconds before the next shot, now bigger back in the P40+ that has been reduced to .8 seconds between frames. The S2 is even faster which makes it appealing. But if they added IS to it than it is very possible it may slow it down some. It would be a balancing act and just the increase per lens cost may be the death of MF altogether.
