Description

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is a professional system camera with exceptional image stabilization options. For both filming and photography, you can use the 5-axis image stabilization. Thanks to the multi-exposure mode, you can make recordings that are comparable in terms of detail and color depth to a 40-megapixel medium-sized sensor. You shoot 8 photos in rapid succession in this mode and the camera then combines them to 1 new high-res file. This makes the camera suitable for product and architecture photography. All this camera magnificence is packaged in a compact and robust weatherproof casing.

Worthy successor to the M5

40mp photos
Improved video
Excellent stabilization
No

I have been using this new camera for some time now. I have had some years of experience with the predecessor, the M5. At the time, Olympus' first OMD. The M5 was already good, but the M5 mark II is still a lot improved.

hand grip The HLD-8 grip connects seamlessly to the camera. With the M5 there is a catch on the grip where the camera itself falls, with the M5ii the grip is only screwed onto the camera. Of course everything works perfectly again, the hand position is better, eg you get an extra shutter button in no time and now for the first time also a headphone connection. Handy if you want control over the recording while filming.

body Things have changed. The on/off button has been moved to the top instead of the rear right at the bottom. Moved the indication of the camera mode in which you are shooting (pasm, auto, art, scn, film and 3-in-1 photo mode) to the left. Furthermore, there are 4 programmable Fn positions, 3 on top and 1 on the back. Which is a small minus: the review button for photos and videos is still placed at the back, but at the bottom right instead of the top. Now it is more difficult to look back the photos with the same hand as you use to photograph, you now first grab the camera with the other hand in order to operate the review button. The display has now become fully extendable, so no longer just up and down. Now you unfold it, and you can rotate it 180 degrees. You can also position it in such a way that you can store the camera with the back to the front so that it is not damaged in the bag. The hinge mechanism is placed in such a way (in the middle of the camera), so that you have the least chance of interference. The speed of series shots has been increased, namely to 9.5 frames per second with continuous focus. The image stabilization is such that 1 stop gain is achieved, so (5 instead of 4), so that you can shoot hand-held even better than was already possible. And a very nice option is the 40MP mode. Only works with static images, but works very well and fast. A number of photos are taken one after the other at lightning speed, and combined into 1 large one. And you can zoom in very far! The EVF has now also been improved. WIFI mode works excellently, the camera can now be operated via the smartphone. The assessment gate has disappeared. The supplied separate flash (which used to require the accessory port) is now fitted with a 'normal' base, and has a rotating head. Can flash up, left or right. There is also an on/off position on the flash itself. Thanks to a smart sleep mode, the battery now lasts dozens of photos longer. And the battery size is unchanged, so interchangeable with the M5, M1, and M5 mark ii. The sensor has remained the same. The shutter has become much softer, and a complete silent mode has been added. I use the set with the new 14-15 lens, now splash-proof. Of course with sun hood.

Video You can now arrange a lot yourself. i.a. 24p mode (cinema mode), other frame rates. While recording, you will now see a stereo representation of the sound recording on the screen. The focusing compared to the M5 has been further improved, so that you can also take beautiful pictures by hand with low light. Awesome. You no longer need another separate video camera for that.

Conclusion The mute color mode is my favorite mode. Beautiful color scheme. Red tins also come across naturally. Also with the M5 and M1 camera you get great natural colors, by the way..... Maybe not everything new has been covered, but my conclusion is that this camera is a great experience to take pictures with. Delicious. Recommended to everyone!

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

Small and powerful, on the go and for serious photography to

small
many features
good image quality
grip a little too small

In addition to the EM-1, I have now purchased the EM5m2 as an extra camera, mainly for travel and street photography, partly because the camera is a lot smaller. The sensor is also different from the EM-1 variant and gives better results with long exposed shots. In short, a small and powerful camera. Perhaps the grip is a bit too small for me, especially with slightly heavier lenses, but it is not a breaking point.
