It would be tremendously useful to some to have IS in the body so that your 35mm and 50mm lenses are advantaged by the IS. Canon does not offer that.

Yes, it would be useful. I think the thing is that choosing a body or a system is down to what you want out of it. I've never really needed IS or long lenses, but I don't do that type of photography. For other people it would be key. I like the qualities that I get from an E-1, but these may not be significant for others. I really do not believe that one system can provide all things to all (wo)men - at least not without investing heavily. I suspect that most people get into a DSLR system and buy a few lenses and bits and pieces, and are mostly happy.
