The E-M5 Mark II is another evolutionary improvement in Olympus' OM-D line of mirrorless, compact system cameras. While this attractive, retro-style shooter (which looks like a cross between a miniature SLR and a rangefinder) doesn't break much new ground...
Excellent handling in a compact, weather-sealed body; Crisp, roomy electronic viewfinder; Image quality that can take the fight to APS-C DSLRs; Unique high-res mode lets it bat far above its weight for static scenes; Extremely fast 10 fps burst shooting,
Control dials are easily bumped; Below-average battery life at default settings; Buffer depths for raw shooters are a bit limited; 16-megapixel sensor resolution feels dated; Weak bundled flash strobe

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...

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...
