not likely, because the phone is using computational photography and
the m4/3rds camera is stuck in the past.

Computational photography is guesswork, partly, it's like how a CD or DVD
player avoids skipping, except the CD or DVD player can actually read-ahead
whereas the camera cannot predict with precision (most of the time) what a
subject is going to do.

nope.

cd/dvd players use extensive error correction, with cd-rom/dvd-rom even
more so. a minor error in an audio or video stream isn't a big deal,
but *any* error in a data file *is*.

computational photography is not error correction. it computes what
should be there, and the results are quite good and getting better all
the time.

Dpreview compared a night-mode video camera with a Nikon D5. Problem was,
the D5 and the lens they used had no stabilization so it was limited to
1/30th without blurring the image, at 20,000 ISO. Dual IBIS and a 50mm
lens
will yield practical exposures of seconds long so unless there is fast
movement in the image, it's a better solution. Not only that, you can
drop
the ISO so the image doesn't look like crap.

not relevant.

It is if the goal is to produce a better static image such as the one
referenced. No IBIS or stabilization on night shots is crippling, unless you have a tripod.

a nikon d5 and a video camera are not relevant to a phone camera and
isp.
