This is a first as far as I can tell. If the lens has IS it will take care of the pitch aand yaw while the body will
stabilize the roll/x/y
displacment. With Oly in MFT one can use the lens OSS or the IBIS but not both effectively--IBIS is better than
almost every lens IS except in a very few exceptions.
Source? Panny has been consistent in saying that their latest lens IS is at least slightly superior to IBIS. How would
one even know if one or the other is generically better, as there are not only various manufacturers, but various ages
of design.

Ah hah--just as on Oly MFT, no? This is great for alts as can dial in the proper FL. Perhaps one may have to lie to
it on the FL if higher mag macro?
Funny story. at least I'm laughing at myself now, after quickly switching to the GX7 for the shot and getting it. I
tossed the Oly 9/8.0 lens cap fisheye on the E-M5 to take a shot at the top of the rainforest globe at the Calif.
Academy of Science - and the LCD images started jumping all over the place. Thought it through later, checked, and the
IS MF FL setting* was for 600 mm!
Also have read that the IBIS may NOT be Oly clone but a home brewed version.
Could be Oly license, but Sony made. The Oly system couldn't be just attached to a much larger sensor. It would have to
be remade, scaled up. I can't see much point in reinventing something demonstrated to work.
This new type of hybrid stablization using both suggests (to me at aleast) the
A9 will have it and could be
the cat's meow for OMZ lenses and other alts. I have no doubt the A7II will
have the same sensor flare
as the A7.
:-) /:-( Like the smile and frown of comedy and tragedy?
If they fix some of the ergonomic issue on the OM A9 may need to have a mop
ready for AG drool.
(as well as mine). It could essentially be the FF digital OM with IBIS with
a great EVF Oly should/could have made.
Good luck!
