Thanks for taking the time to type all this. Not that I am interested in Sony, at least not for now, but I am considering on buying an Oly again. OK, I was not considering this camera but the E-M5 II so it isn't really the same, but my worries are the image sensor and the IBIS noise. The sensor is the same in both cameras and I think the IBIS is also the same, maybe with some improvements in the way it is handled in the E-M5 II. Never the less, what puts me off is the DR and ISO noise, even at ISO200. I can't understand how Oly still not managed to improve that, and I am actually not comparing with my D800, but with the age old Nikon V1. Your point about the aspect ratio is something I almost forgot about. OK, the image can be cropped to 3:2 but that costs quite some pixels, so it is indeed a negative point.

In other words, the more I look at the camera or read about similar cameras the more certain I am about waiting some more... at least until Photokina.

Em1 has a Panny sensor, em5II has a Sony one. The former has the old 5-axis IBIS, the latter has the newer one that is pne stop better and can make the micro adjustments for hires shots.

Good point
