I don't know about the guy, but one thing has impressed me. Although he
doesn't entirely use Bill's recommended and required holding technique, he's
a lot closer than most. Simply use the right hand to hold from the right
side of the camera and control it, use the left, with elbow braced against
your body, to cradle the camera/lens and zoom and if necessary focus.
Ultimate stability, and probably as much or more advantage over most
techniques than IBIS.

Hi Bill,
I'd suggest you collect some more info then just this particular website. I
found <
http://tysonrobichaudphotography.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/the-gx7-vs-the-om-d-e-m5-battle-for-my-affection-round-1-ibis-evfs-lcds/>,
have no idea of its credability but think it might not be as black and
white as 'The ibis of the GX7 sucks'.
I have an e-m5 myself but think the GX7 is an attractive and less 'standing
out' camera (what would be the word for 'more stealthy'?).
Good luck with your selection process.
Best, Frank
