I think it makes perfect sense to use the current sensor in an E-5 body. Being realistic it will have a limited market no matter the sensor, no point in devoting much R&D into an all new camera or sensor, just get it out there while there's still a few buyers and continue to work on the mirrorless - 4/3 bridge.

I wonder though, if they could fit the OM-D's five axis IS into an E-5 body w/o much retooling.

Hmmm I guess you'd look at the sony 24MP sensor and chop it to four thirds and 16MP is what I worked it out to be. DR and noise are pretty much the same therefore Oly should stick with 16 MP sensor they have.
