GX IBIS

The GX8 IBIS is a far cry from the 3-4 stops the OP is claiming. I tested mine carefully and I get 1, may be 1.5 stops in a good day. Online reviews prove my finding.

Also I don't have any vibration problem with stabilized lenses, meaning I don't have shutter shock problems. The Gx85 seems to have a serious IBIS on 5 axes and 3-4 stops.

Having said that still better the basic IBIS than no IBIS. I use my Leica and Nikon lenses with great satisfaction.
