and on the dominance of the big two - that'll be because thats what the pros largely use - with the exception of Mr Rouses breif flirtation with pentax 645 before he went digital I cant think of any wildlife pro who uses anything else (now I mean - I know heather angel used to use the olympus OM system back in the day)
On the body IS vs in camera IS the only pro either way I can find is an article by Nikon. Do you have a link to someting else please. I know a few people who have shot hand held macros with body IS systems, even if they are inferior.

I agree when it come to pro level then its canon or nikon, mainly because there arnt any pro level by any of the other brands - but at entry level and semi pro the options are not so limited
