I think it depends on the lens. For kit lenses I've found the PM2's IBIS is just as good. For longer lenses (e.g., 45-175mm) I've found the opposite. I'd recommend experimenting some and making your own decision though--it's easy enough to do.

It's the new Panasonic 14-42mm II lesn. Doesn't have a switch to turn off OIS.

An E-PL5 will recognize the Pana. lens' OIS, no problem. The E-PM2 is the same series, should be the same.  Switch off the IBIS.
