So, I guess Olympus is telling us a big fib with this on their website and their list of specifications?

the US Olympus site claims it has 3-axis IBIS (like the E-M10) but it doesn't - it is 2-axis, just like the E-PL5 - I know this for sure since I have an E-PL6.
Effectively, yes. I presume somebody in a marketing division made a mistake - their websites for other parts of the world get it right (at least the ones I've seen). Given that the E-PL6 is physically identical to the E-PL5 aside from the paintwork and some software features, and given that the E-PL6 elsewhere has always had 2-axis IBIS (it's easy to tell the two systems apart in the hand), it seems incredibly unlikely that they would have redesigned it to include 3-axis IBIS for the US only, while keeping the appearance and designation unchanged. It is of course the E-PL7 which has 3-axis IBIS.
Maybe someone who's bought one recently in the US could confirm? As we know, 2-axis IBIS has no constant hiss, no option to operate on half-pressing the shutter button, but grinds and chatters on a long exposure.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
