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

Great flip/tilt-out touchscreen, More dials and buttons, Better grip, Weather-sealing, 40-megapixel high-res mode, Tons more video recording frame rates, High-resolution electronic viewfinder, Excellent image stabilization
Still no 4K video recording, Pro or premium lens required to get best high-res mode shots, Slightly lower battery life
Olympus plays it safe with smaller upgrades on the OM-D E-M5 Mark II, but it's still a badass camera in a small package...

Very good image quality - good dynamic range and color, Extensive and customizable external controls, Excellent build quality and sense of solidity, Class-leading image stabilization - also available for video recording, Broad set of features to support v
Low resolution by contemporary standards, Complex menu system and extensive customization options can be overwhelming, Video output not as detailed as it could be, Default autofocus settings limit camera performance
The E-M5 II is a great all-rounder that improves over its well-respected predecessor in almost every respect. Although it faces stiff competition from higher-resolution peers in this segment of the mirrorless market, the combination of a deep feature set...

Small weatherproof body with great controls, Fantastic built-in stabilization works with any lens, Big, detailed viewfinder and fully-articulated touch screen, Fast accurate focusing with great face and eye detection, Built-in Wifi with powerful mobile ap
Native image quality similar to previous models, 40MP mode requires specific conditions and lenses to shine, Continuous AF becomes less confident with fast subjects, Timelapse and miniature movies encoded at low frame rate, Slow wakeup when Quick Sleep is
The Olympus OMD EM5 Mark II is one of the most satisfying all-round cameras I've tested to date. It takes the charm of the original EM5, adds a bunch of features from the flagship EM1, complements them with a few new ones and even manages to improve some...
Petite, weather-sealed body, Excellent photo and video quality, Five-axis image stabilization, Large articulating LCD with tap-to-focus, Electronic viewfinder
Overly complex interface, No built-in flash, Autofocus sometimes sluggish in low light
Compact, powerful and weatherproof, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 lets you shoot great photos and videos nearly anywhere. Olympus cameras inspire affection in many people because of the devices' petite, metal-clad designs; retro SLR looks; and colorful...
Abstract: Digital Rev has posted its latest video review with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with Kai at the helm again. While he's not a fan of the retro styling, he seems to think the E-M5 Mark II is a solid Micro Four Thirds camera.Last week, we showcased an imag...
It may look similar to the 3-year-old EM-5, but with a plethora of "under-the-hood" improvements, the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II far surpasses that camera, and in some ways the flagship OM-D E-M1 too. Although not quite as easy to use as the slightly...
High image quality, especially the 40-megapixel shots, Best Olympus video camera, The same large viewfinder image as an SLR with full-frame sensor, Perfect image stabilization, even for video, Electronic shutter with completely silent mode and 1/16,000 sh
