Half real, half BS. Not that Oly is alone, or even first, with the 
replacement of IS with BSS

BSS is simply auto iso that cranks up the iso - and the noise - when 
shutter speed would otherwise be too long. Not a bad feature to have 
available, but simply a lie when advertised as IS.

Is an unusable motion blurred image better or worse than an unusable 
smeared pointillist image? I'm not kidding. Take a look at the sample 
images for some P&S cameras at high isos. Just one of many examples
