... when my NX500 falters completely. Regards

... for me is for what they really need or want all that additional real estate. Cooling, ergonomics, extra battery, size of the 10 axis IBIS, to look like a pro? All of them? I really would like ...

Yep, I mis-applied the subthread-post of 007-Peter to the discussion. In-body in general was KonicaMinolta, 5axis was of course Olympus' idea. Regards

Well, I gathered the discussion was about in-body stabilisation in general, not only the 5-axis one. 5 axis one was of course Olympus' contribution. Regards

Yes, of course, got a KM Dimage A2 in 2004 with in-body stabilisation (2 aces though if I recall correctly). One of the reasons why I bought it over the Olympus 8080 and the Sony 808. Regards

No idea, but how about a front mounted contraption? Ok, it will be big of course .... Regards

But that is exactly the rub: though I have quite large hands, I really dislike large grips. For me good ergonomics are ridgy-like or max. mid-sized grips. Ok, you might argue that the E-M5III will ...

Exactly!

Again, I have absolutely no problem with tearing etc with this EVF. It’s on the small side though. And no, I’m certain the G9 is not more fun to shoot with, considering its oversized body.

Exactly, even with those lukewarm updates it is, dust problem aside (which I’ve got with the LX100).

Fine by me, if reasonable updates (not the E-PL facelift) of those smaller cameras materialise in 2019. Except for a large heat-sink I still can not imagine what that large size is necessary for ...

Probably just me, but I prefer a symmetrical notch to an asymmetrically placed hole.
Anyway, did not even realise there were notched phones until very recently when I decided to replace my shoddy 5...

Precisely ... Cheers

Finally somebody who gets it. Though I am sure there are many others who feel the same ... for me the lens becomes the grip (if it is larger). Otherwise (small lens) I have no problem operating ...

Got my stuff always at a discount, and resold some of it for quite a bit. So money spent was moderate, but do I really need 7 cameras? Most used are the NX500, LX100 and the TG-5. The NX300 and ...

Well, partly. But when using the small primes and zooms (I still consider the 12-40 to be a small lens) you are still stuck with "ridiculously" (relatively speaking) large up to date bodies à la ...

Nope, I will never get it why a small body provides a problem with balance. The larger the lens the more you hold the system by the lens. Why would I hold the thing the whole day just with one ...

But the E-5 was still too unwieldy for my comparatively large hands. The E-420 was near perfect, and the NX500 I use now is fine. The E-PL7 I also use is not bad, too, but I still think they got ...

If they manage to put 6 & 7 in a E-M5 III body I would be all in, but this size (weight is not an issue) is a no go for me (just personal preference). That's way enough if ... ... there will be a ...
