Beautiful retro design. Pro-level controls. So small. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 was the mirrorless camera for discerning photographers. Three years later, it's finally getting a update in the form of the new E-M5 Mark II. It provides some welcome improvement...
Good Image stabilisation is second to none, Physical control scheme is a joy for power-users like me, One of the most underrated things about the E-M5 is the bundled flash. It's the first I've seen that tilts and rotates just like a large speedlight flash. Tha...
Bad Image quality hasn't improved in the three years since the original EM-5 was released, despite still being very good, It's expensive when compared to cameras with larger sensors from other companies, Hard for me to get over the lack of detail when shootin...
Bottom line The EM-5 Mark II is certainly hugely capable as an enthusiast camera for general purpose photography. It suits most types of shooting, with the exception of fast-moving sports and wildlife. The biggest knock is price. Sony's a6000 can be found for half th...
