I have used the internal stacking option of the e-m1 several times
hand-held and I found it reasonable forgivable for that.
But then my standards are obviously not on a Moose level ;-)

One of the advantages of live view camera's with a movable back lcd is that
you can use them with your arm stretched and still have an idea of what you
are shooting, while making yourself as little as possible. A great way to
approach a dragonfly, while continuously (well, you get the point) making
pictures as you approach. When the dragonfly flies away, you stay where you
are, and the dragonfly will usually return (you have become part of the
environment). Then, advance again very slowly while shooting, etc. In my
experience, that works well.
