The word is IBIS and a used E-M5 is a very sensible investment when using
legacy (macro) primes. The stabilization will kick in if you half press the
shutter button, and focussing is a (relative) breeze.

True, and yet . . . Mark I IBIS is already very good, but the E-M5 II is even better. Mark I doesn't have focus peaking; there is a clumsy focus peaking work around for the Mark I, but Mark II focus peaking is much better; very effective at showing the area/depth that's in focus. More useful for many subjects/situations than magnification.

With magnification you see only part of the image (Fuji's implementation
might be a bit better), so you'll have to pre-visualize your picture, in
that you set the to be enlarged focussing point on the right spot for the
final picture.

Here's where focus peaking shines.

It is not very difficult although a native AF macro is easier.

Oh yeah!
