IBIS wins for me, by a huge margin. Especially in video. For me that's much more important than other "gimmicky" features that GH3 might have in video. Yes, and before anyone asks, I don't like carrying tripods.

Significantly better image quality is a "gimmicky" feature?

Well, it's a bold claim that GH3 has a better image quality than E-M5 -- I strongly disagree. If you mean less compression in video, then I am not a pro videographer and will not clog up my hard drives with very high bit rate videos. 99.9% of my videos are handheld, so I value IBIS much more. Besides, E-M5 has a fantastic Auto Gradation mode (and a great Highlight-Shadow tool) to increasy the dynamic range, yes, in video. So the video quality is not only the birate.
