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
Whether Olympus will actually manage to revisit the dizzy heights it enjoyed during the OM System's glory days remains to be seen, but it's done all the right things so far and you get the sense that there's much more to come… much more. The flagship E-M1...

The 40 megapixel high resolution function; incamera keystone correction; one button HDR; improved image stabilisation and its effect on video; lovely image quality and beautiful aesthetics. The addition of a second microphone input is good for third party
The articulated LCD is not an improvement on the vertical flip screen for a stills camera
When the E-M5 was launched in September 2010 it rapidly became the most sought-after camera of its type. It's taken four years and three interim models to come up with the E-M5 Mark II and each model has offered at least one new feature to attract serious...
Small size, Precision feel, 40M High Res mode, excellent 5axis 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....

Crisp image quality, Advanced controls and highly customisable, High quality EVF
Left-hinged screen feels unintuitive on this camera
performance was expectedly swift from this camera, and its picture quality is as good as what we expected considering the other Olympus cameras we've tested in the range. Clarity was high, with plenty of detail captured without blemishes, and colours rem...
No 4K video recording, High Res Shot only works in certain situations
Olympus took its sweet old time releasing an upgrade to its original OM-D E-M5, but as some philosopher probably once said, some things in life are worth waiting for.What we have here is a number of small, but significant, upgrades that make it tempting e...
Abstract: Background StoryI have been using a Nikon V1 for about 4 years now, for days when I just want to have a camera with me but am not willing to carry a bulky or heavy DSLR around. It does serve me very well as a companion to its bigger DSLR siblings – especi...

Abstract: Among a season of good cameras last year from Sony, Samsung and Fujifilm was Olympus' OM-D E-M5 Mark II. This is one micro four-thirds mirrorless camera can shoot images at a resolution of up to 40 megapixels.And unlike the updated models from rivals, Oly...
Abstract: The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is the successor to the E-M5, the first model in the company's OM-D mirrorless camera series. At first glance, the Mark II looks just like its predecessor. But there are several differences in the button layout: - The mode ...
