Slow down and read more closely, pardner. It says:
"Last week I reported that Olympus is helping Sony in developing new
A-mount lenses. The first co-developed lens will be the 400mm f/4.0
A-mount lens (to be launched in early 2014). And now according to
multiple sources Olympus is also sharing their knowledge of the 5 axis
image stabilization to Sony. All next A-mount cameras will have a so
called “5-axis SSM”. This is a further and more advanced development of
the current E-M5 system and it has been designed for Full Frame sensor."
NEX lenses are "E mount". "A mount" lenses are Konica/Minolta/Sony DSLR
lenses, both 1.5X and full frame. No NEX involvement apparent here. It
fits the Sony DSLR thing because that system is already in-body IS.
Sony is already making money from proprietary E mount lenses. I do not
see proprietary Sony changing their habits any time soon. The only hope
of marriage between a full frame mirrorless sensor and 5-axis in-body IS
would have to come from a new full-frame line from Olympus. AG could
not be tempted since he'll no longer be buying Olympus or OM-D
E-Mfullframe version 1 cameras. :-)
