I thought Canon announced their's first? I could be wrong.

IS performance is difficult to quantify, but I think the general consensus is that modern lens IS has the edge on body, especially on the long end. However with lens IS you pay more and only get it on some of your lenses.
So in general its a bit of a wash, but the differences may be significant to certain users

On my d70 anything much beyond 400 is probably going to warrant a bit of extra care, but if I was shooting a D3 I'd probably feel comfortable shooting as ISOs I'd never even heard of until recently. Cameras are getting better with every generation, and if you're printing (especially small) or resizing noise isn't as big of a deal as people make of it, as long as it doesn't interfere with detail or kill saturation.How much sensor noise can you stand when you crank up the ISO? So far, I'm happier with the results at ISO400 than those at 800 or 1600.
