The editors liked
Image stabilization 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
Brilliant design and build quality
Superb OIS system
Great for monochrome images
The editors didn't like
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
Abstract: So it was when it introduced the retro OM-D a couple of years ago. Although deeply digital, the OM-D was recognisably and reassuringly an old-style SLR, but one that had been sprinkled with magic shrinking dust – Olympus had reduced a fully-fledged DSLR t...

Decent build quality and great retro style, 2x2 switch control, all-round improvements from first-generation E-M5, that 5-axis stabilisation system, High Res Shot for 40/64MP tripod-based shots
Too easy to knock front dial and press HDR button by accident, limited battery life as ever, low-light image quality limitations, no 4K video
Although image quality and autofocus ability aren't giant leaps ahead compared to the first-generation model, the E-M5 Mark II shows that OM-D has landed. It's a good-looking, classy performer that takes the original's concept and elevates it to a h...
High-quality stills and videos, Five-axis image stabilization, Superb high ISO handling, 40-megapixel photo mode, Highly customizable
Menu system and controls slightly clunky to use, Flash not built in, No 4K support

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...
Another excellent little OM-D When the original OM-D E-M5 debuted almost three years ago, it was sold on the promise of five-axis stabilization and retro design, tipping its hat to the legacy of Olympus's OM film cameras. That legacy lives on, but the...

Small size, Precision feel, 40M High Res mode, excellent 5, axis stabilization
Complex controls and customization, Smaller sensor than some rival CSCs
The E-M5 Mark II is incredibly powerful and versatile yet small and light too. Olympus has introduced a number of very interesting technologies with real, practical value....

Great 5-axis OIS, Excellent handling and controls, Much-improved EVF
No 4K video, Lesser detail and high ISO performance than some
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II isn't a camera that'll bowl you over with new features. That's not what it's about. Plentiful optimisations will subtly enrich what it's like to use, making it altogether better than what came before in just about every resp...
