The other night, I noticed a vibration control noted on Amazon's pages for a couple of the new RF lenses, stemming from the manufacturer. Is anyone familiar with this technology?

Canon RF 28-70mm 2.0 ... "Resists Vibration Shock"

Apparently, both the lens and the camera have a form of IS

From Canon's White Paper:

In the new EOS R system the lens embodies new technologies that combine with the IS system in the camera to implement an augmented control over the image blurring that can be caused by shaking and vibration of the lens-camera system. This is empowered by an interactive data communication between the two. Within the lens a dual gyro sensor system detects any inadvertent physical movements of the system and this data is reported across lens-camera communication to the DIGIC 8 processor. At the same time the image sensor is “seeing” any blur stimulated by these same movements and it also reports this image data to the DIGIC 8 processor. These two data reports are algorithmically processed at very high speed and a compensation control signal is generated and sent back at high speed to the lens to actuate the IS optical element that counteracts the disturbance.

Is it possible this a technology Canon is aiming for rather than IBIS? Depending on how many components it adds, this and and 3rd control ring may account for a percentage of the significant price increase.

It would be nice if one of the Youtube review folks would test one of these new RF lenses against something like an adapted EF 50mm 1.2 that lacks both IS switch and see how it compares hand held at different shutter speeds.
