that it's easier to provide superior IS effects in a lens than in a
camera body; that lens IS can be custom-tailored to provide the best
IS for that particular lens (rather than the one-IS-fits all approach
of in-body stabilization); and that in-lens IS is now simple and
inexpensive, and doesn't bloat the size of the lens. (For the record,
my 18-55 non-stabilized lens is almost identical in size and weight to
my 18-55 stabilized lens from the same vendor. It's not particularly
useful to compare stabilized/non-stabilized from different vendors,
such as Nikon/Sigma.)
Those who sell only in-camera image stabilization say other things.
Your needs may lean you towards one approach or the other. In
practice, I find that I need only a couple stabilized lenses, and I
have them, so I don't miss having stabilization in the camera body.
But those who own a lot of older, non stabilized lenses, especially
telephotos, might gain something by getting a compatible
image-stabilized body.
