Bizarre, but it passed through the discussion list. I figured it as an in-joke. But knowing that IS is coming would reassure some people. When I bought my ZX-L I actually seriously considered Canon for IS alone. Then I figured if I spend $2000 on an IS lens I may as well tack on another 10% to get a camera to put on it. If I'd known then how cheap IS lenses can get, well, I don't want to think about it. But it's something people want! It took a lot of pros away from Nikon, it's probably drawing people away from Pentax, too. If they announce the coming of IS and you'll see Pentax stock price jump. And that's something the upper management can relate to.
