Re: What body to buy next?

I think it is highly unlikely that Olympus/Panasonic cameras will ever support dual stabilization with the other manufacturers lenses.  The systems are almost certainly designed from the beginning to work together and unless they used the same IBIS and OIS systems it would require complete knowledge of how each others stabilization systems worked to develop programs which would be better than either stabilization system alone.  I do not think either manufacturer would release that information to a competitor when there is so little benefit for them for that collaboration.

If maximum stabilization performance is that important to you and the 6.5 stops of the E-M5.3 are not sufficient, then you probably should choose one of the Panasonic cameras that can provide better stabilization with your lenses.
