The editors didn't like
Complex controls and customization
Smaller sensor than some rival CSCs
The articulated LCD is not an improvement on the vertical flip screen for a stills camera
Left-hinged screen feels unintuitive on this camera
A little slow to start up
Still no flash built in
External battery charger still required to charge the camera up
No 4K video recording, High Res Shot only works in certain situations
Images are gorgeous, and using the camera is a customiser's dream Olympus took its sweet old time releasing an upgrade to its original OM-D E-M5, but as some philosopher probably once said, some things in life are worth waiting for. What we have here is...
Photo answers review Photo answers rating Olympus has a broad spanning range of Compact System Cameras (CSCs), and the E-M5 Mk II is the latest addition to the pack. The Mk II replaces the three-year-old E-M5, which sat in between the entry-level E-M1...
Abstract: So it was when it introduced the retro OM-D a couple of years ago. Although deeply digital, the OM-D was recognisably and reassuringly an old-style SLR, but one that had been sprinkled with magic shrinking dust – Olympus had reduced a fully-fledged DSLR t...

Decent build quality and great retro style, 2x2 switch control, all-round improvements from first-generation E-M5, that 5-axis stabilisation system, High Res Shot for 40/64MP tripod-based shots
Too easy to knock front dial and press HDR button by accident, limited battery life as ever, low-light image quality limitations, no 4K video
Although image quality and autofocus ability aren't giant leaps ahead compared to the first-generation model, the E-M5 Mark II shows that OM-D has landed. It's a good-looking, classy performer that takes the original's concept and elevates it to a h...

Image stabilisation is second to none, Physical control scheme is a joy for power-users like me, 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
Image quality hasn't improved in the three years since the original EM-5 was released, despite still being very good, It's expensive when compared to cameras with larger sensors from other companies, Hard for me to get over the lack of detail when shootin
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. Sony's a6000 can be found for half th...
Another excellent little OM-D When the original OM-D E-M5 debuted almost three years ago, it was sold on the promise of five-axis stabilization and retro design, tipping its hat to the legacy of Olympus's OM film cameras. That legacy lives on, but the...
