Amateur Photographer published an interview with Setsuya Kataoka of Olympus. Here are just a couple of interesting points:

1) With the E-M1 Mark II we have surpassed the speed and image quality of APS-C DSLRs.
2) The in-body stabilisation itself gives 5.5 steps, and the Sync IS gives 6.5 steps with OIS lenses. 6.5 stops is actually a theoretical limitation at the moment due to rotation of the earth interfering with gyro sensors.
3) It’s not a PEN-F sensor: It’s a totally different sensor, two times faster, with totally different construction. On-chip phase detection is also incorporated.

Panasonic GH5:
The camera will be released in early 2017. Full press release can be read on that 43rumors post. This is the GH4 teaser video. Short video of the GH5 preproduction camera on stage at Photokina. GH5 vs GH4 by Parkcameras.
The camera records records 4:2:2 internallly but only in 8bit when you have 4K60fps and in higher 10bit when you record 4k30fps. The 6K photo feature is quite strange, it probably records a stream of 6000×3000 images…so 6K is not really the proper deifnition but more of a “marketing-trick”. It’s unclear if the camera records 4K with a small crop or with no crop and downsampling.

Here are the real world images of the GH5 by ePhotozine (Click on the image to enlarge):
