This is one good point that no one has ever mentioned. For the very accurate focus, especially with tele lenses, I always have to zoom the focus in, and the shaking screen is really annoying most of the time, now it can be much more comfortable and accurate.

I would not be so optimistic because I think IS only works at the moment the picture is taken, or video is being recorded. At least that's how the Sony A99 works. Keeping IS active all the time would spend much battery power and compromise the durability of the mechanism.

Stable viewfinder image

Monitor the stabilising effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting still images by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode. Even when using a telephoto or macro lens, you can fine-tune framing and focusing with stress-free stability.

At least for Olympus E-M5/E-M1/EP5 it works like that, an half pressure activate the stabilization. Of course it works too with full manual lenses (without chip) and in vidéo mode.
