I think the rest of the manufacturers put the VR/IS in the lenses. Metering, at least on Nikon, is selectable between spot, center-weighted, and matrix (whole sensor) - I believe the others have equivalent systems.
Are you trying to hand-hold the long exposure or use a tripod? VR/IS can actually cause vibrations (when active) when on a tripod.
Yes I know, thank you. There are times when I can only hand-hold; looking for another with IS/VR in body.
