I now read it is EXACTLY the same sensor.
As just mentioned, Oly don't spec or build the sensors. Clearly, the new single
processor is a step up, to do HH-HR and ND.

the wonderful IS---(up to claimed 7.5 stops with sync IS and 7 stops otherwise

Yes, but it is still better than the previous incarnation which on the E-M1
MK11 was 5.5/6.5.
--doubt this would beat Panny Dual IS, but hard to tell).
<<<Not a clue here. How does one test?? With my primary lenses being OIS
Pannys, I naturally lean to their Sync IS. As below, the limiting factor in the field is
often subject movement, anyway.
<<<I remember when I first used my 100-400 in the field, I took some hand held
shots on the E-M5 II, alternating IBIS and OIS. I didn't note the order as I took them,

It can be tested thoroughly and reliably with careful experimental design and
enough iterations.
Depends on how one defines "can", I suppose. When constrained by time and cost constraints, I suspect no one "can", nor
will. It would be a monster project, as it would need to accommodate a vast range of FLs and camera motions, as well as
the other variables. Looking at the Oly video description, it appears that their system would only outperform others
with large camera movements and/or very long FLs. Which probably explains why, after the 12-100, they are only using it
on the fast 300 and the 1150-400.
This will provide an estimation of how well it will do for the average photog
but can be different for Cool Hand Luke, d'Moose.
If variations of photographer - and processing - are not included, what use
would it all be?

<<<Things not to like:
<<<The power switch is still where it was on an OM-2. Soooo awkward in a world
where everyone else has theirs where a right hand finger or thumb can operate it.
I forgot to mention that the E series had sensible, right thumb operated power
switches.
<<<The ergonomic thing I hate about the A7 is the menu button off on the left
corner. Now Oly is doing it. That means I couldn't open the menu without taking left
hand off the lens or right hand off the body. Crap!
What bugs me is where the lens release button is--I hate that on Sonnie.
Funny, that doesn't bug me.
