After much hand wringing and gnashing of teeth, I finally pulled the trigger and bought an E-M10, 25mm f1.8 ($100 off) and E-CG1(free), plus another 5% off the total package. A good deal I think. This after 2 months of deliberating, reading reviews, lurking in the forum, etc.

Today, while perusing the Consumer Reports site, I came across their review. One thing stood out and it was "Poor image stabilizer, much lower than most cameras". How can this be? They said every other Olympus camera reviewed had and excellent stabilizer "better than most", even the lowly E-PM2. While I have no plans to return it, I would like to hear from other E-M10 owners and their experiences with image stabilization.

That's just nonsense, don't worry

Somebody probably just read that the E-M5 and E-M1 have 5 axis and the E-M10 3 axis... and then that person just though: "oh ok well that must result in "poor, much lower" performance".

And that's simply not true :). No need to worry, enjoy your E-M10!
