  • Complex controls and customization, Smaller sensor than some rival CSCs

  • 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...

  • Brilliant design and build quality, Superb OIS system, Great for monochrome images
  • No 4K video recording, Low-light performance could have been better, Slightly expensive
  • No doubt, the Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II is a great mirrorless camera, but one must bear in mind that it comes at a high price. Olympus is selling the body only for Rs. 74,990 and of course lenses and accessories will cost you much more.Many people will ar...

  • The EM-5 Mark II is certainly hugely capable as an enthusiast camera for general purpose photography. It suits most types of shooting, with the exception of fast-moving sports and wildlife. The biggest knock is price. Sonys a6000 can be found for half th...
