Abstract: A few days ago I returned from my fifth trip to Iceland this year. During my most recent trip, some other journalists and I had a chance to work with the new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera and two new lenses — the 25mm f/1.2 and 12-100mm f/4 zoom . I'll...
Abstract: We tested the camera with the 300mm f4 and the 12-40mm f2.8. Check out what we got last night. Remember, this is all handheld and done by holding my breath. In fact, I ended up feeling sort of woozy last night after trying to stabilize my breath and body...
At Photokina 2016, Olympus announced the new Olympus OMD EM1 Mk II; a camera that they're trying to aim at the professional and high end enthusiast. The EM1 has been the company's flagship line for a while now, and the last one was already very good. The...

Abstract: The new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is designed to hold up to inclement weather and boy did we put it to the test! During a press trip to Iceland last week, we adhered to the mailman's creed while using Olympus' new flagship mirrorless camera, shooting with...
I've got no doubt that Olympus has made a solid product–they sold me on that years ago. I think that their biggest challenge is convincing the public that the Four Thirds sensor is still highly capable when they don't realize that an iPhone can be used to...
Abstract: "Image quality is not a feature; it's an expectation."Photokina 2016 is brimming with exciting news and today Olympus delivered a whopper, announcing a new flagship Micro Four Thirds camera designed to out perform and provide more "overall value" than APS...

Best-in-class built-in stabilisation for stills and movies, Tough weather-proof body with twin card slots and great ergonomics, Effective continuous AF up to 18fps (electronic) or 10fps (mechanical), High speed bursts up to 60fps, including full-res RAW (
No indication of shots remaining in buffer during burst shooting, Can't playback images while buffer is emptying (but can still shoot), Auto ISO not available above 6400 ISO nor in Movie manual mode, Autofocus during movies can be hesitant and inconsisten
The Olympus OMD EM1 Mark II takes the popular weatherproof Mark I, deepens the grip, adds twin memory card slots and employs the most generous battery of any mirrorless camera. It improves the already amazing stabilisation, adds a minor boost in resolutio...
Abstract: For those wanting to step up from entry-level to midrange ILCs, there are many things to consider, including the choice between a DSLR or mirrorless camera, what sensor size suits you best, how important video is to you, and of course the lens system.Whil...
There's no getting around the fact that the OM-D E-M1 Mark II is expensive. Yes, it's Olympus' flagship CSC and built like a tank but the $2299 you'll pay for just the body could get you a Fujifilm X-T2 (also weatherproof, also offering 4K recording) and...
When the E-M1 Mark II development announcement was released at Photokina in September we felt this camera was the most exciting piece of equipment to be announced at the show. And we weren't the only ones, although a poll of readers of the DPReview websit...
