Panasonic Lumix GX7
Panasonic has announced their first dual-stabilized body, the Lumix GX7 (Micro Four Thirds).
Apparently, if you mount a Panasonic lens with OIS, the GX7 will use that form of image stabilization. However, if you mount a lens that is not stabilized, the body has sensor-shift stabilization. This also includes adapted lenses.
WTG Panasonic! :clap
Other improvements (vs the GX1):

P.S. About the only glaring omission for this camera is the lack of an input for an external microphone for video.
