Verdict
Pick the Olympus Pen E-PM2 if you prioritize in-body stabilization and a slightly lower price, or if compactness and stills performance matter more. The Panasonic Lumix GH4 stays the better choice if you need higher burst rates or professional-grade 4K video capabilities, despite the lack of stabilization.
