Doubtful...

I would really like a small and light camera like the E-PM2, but with updates like electronic first curtain shutter, custom modes on a mode dial, and other new stuff Olympus had added since back when.

Can multi-axis IBIS fit in a small light body or would it be stuck with the old 2-axis IBIS?

And it would be nice if Olympus could also come out with a super small and tiny 14mm pancake lens that doesn't have the massive purple fringing of the Panasonic lens. Don't care if widest aperture is very modest like f 2.8 or even f.3.1, just want it to be super sharp.

Considering the PM2 came out in 2012, and I don't think it did that well...I would be highly surprised if Oly came out with a PM3...or an ultra-small Pen either. Seems most things coming out of Oly these days is pointing towards higher quality 'bigger' items. I.e. pro lenses, Pen F. etc..all 'not' small. On the other hand, the Panasonic GM series is getting mostly high praise so Oly 'might' try their own hands? Still doubtful though, and definitely not if they can only put in the old 2-axis IBIS into it.
