Latest Patent surfaced over the web shows Canon is actively working on Butil-in image stabilization system. Well we have seen and published a lot of patent from Canon but this is the first Canon patent of Sensor shift-image stabilization system.
One of the most unusual thing I have seen in the patent is the publication date is more then 20 year old. If canon do have the blueprint of sensor IS tech then why they wasted so much time and given space and development opportunity of competitors.

We have seen in interviews Canon people told us “Lack of IBIS on EOS R was a result of compromises over body size, cost and heat dissipation for this particular model; they do think it has merits, and will consider it for future models “
So we can expect Canon will use it’s in-body image stabilization system in their Mirrorless line-up of cameras, Since Canon had a policy against IBIS on DSLR.
