Our colleague, Florida based photographer Darren Miles recently had a chance to review the new Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II – and we bring you his impressions.
The original Olympus OM-D EM-5 was a pretty popular mirrorless camera and the new version was highly anticipated by Olympus fans around the world. So does it holds up to the original (after all quite a few things changed in the market since the older version came out). Miles seems to think that the answer is yes – the in-body image stabilizer is really impressive and the image quality (when compared to other micro 4/3 cameras) is very high, and so is the video (although the GH4 is still way ahead).
We have already looked at the Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II when the camera was announced and Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake from from the Camera Store in Canada did a first hand review of the camera and got to their own interesting conclusions.
