All sorts of photos are now available, previously not possible, because you needed 1/500 sec to use 600mm handheld, or use tripod, and now you can use 1/60 sec and get perfectly sharp photos.

I agree that this technology is really great and I have been shooting the 40-150/2,8 on the E-M1 with ridiculously slow shutter speeds. But it requires also that the the target is still so while very good, it doesn't solve all.
