Thanks for your answer, it makes me more confident to choose GX9. But the question was more theoretical - How does it compare to, for example, Olympus, when using not stabilized lens. Because there are some differences in both reviews and technical specifications.

Differences in reviews are because the evaluation of stabilization systems is very subjective. And the person holding the camera plays a very important role in this process. As well as the lens used for the test. But back to the person, even the personal preferences, both objective like how camera ergonomics and grip fits to your hands and how much coffee is in your blood system, and subjective as liking or disliking a specific camera model and brand) can heavily influence the test outcome.

IMHO, measuring stabilization in  "stops" is bad, and is just slightly better than measuring it in "axis".
