Olympus E-M1 Mark II IBIS test

Here are some samples of images taken handheld with Olympus E-M1 Mark II camera and the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm 1:4.0 IS Pro lens.
The camera was set to 50 MP high resolution mode (RAW+JPEG). In this mode the camera generates a 50 MP JPEG file, an 80 MP RAW file and a 20 MP RAW file

Olympus E-M1 Mark II with 12-100 lens.
No tripod used.
No flash, camera set to autofccus and to ISO 200.
All images are out of the camera JPEGs, no processing applied.
I was leaning against a wall or pillar, holding the camera in both hands, using the LCD screen for framing, bowed elbows against my body.

With this technique (leaning the body against something, a wall, pillar, column etc.) the success rate was close to 100%: practically every shot up to several seconds turned out quite sharp.
Even the 10 seconds exposure is sharp in the centre of the image.
It might be possible to leave the tripod at home and only rely on stabilisation to shoot pictures at night.
But I have to repeat the test with a tripod to see if an image taken with a tripod perhaps is a bit sharper. Possibly the tripod image is a little bit sharper than a 5 second handheld image (pixel-level "micro-sharpness").
