CameraLabs published the full E-M1II review. This is actually one of the biggest review Gordon has ever written and he concludes:
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 resolution and offers a cunning composite mode which under the right conditions can increase the resolving power up to 50 Megapixels.
The major upgrades though concern video and autofocus. The EM1 Mark II shots great quality 4k and Cinema4k video which work a treat with the stabilisation, while a new embedded AF system can genuinely track moving action at up to 18fps; switch to Single AF and it’ll even shoot up to 48 RAWs at 60fps. It all adds up to a supremely confident and capable camera that can capture images where others can’t, but you’ll really have to need the 4k and or burst capabilities to justify the professional price tag. There’s a lot of very compelling rivals for the same or less money. But if you’ll exploit the feature-set, the EM1 Mark II becomes one of the most powerful and desirable cameras in its class and justifies its asking price regardless of format.

Chris and Jordan tested the new E-M1II and overall they really liked the camera. There are some caveats like low light performance and obvisouly the high price tag. But the camera brings a lot of new grea tech and for them “the stabilizer is incredible“. Check out the video!

DxOmark published the full Olympus E-M1II sensor test report. And there is only good news to report: The E-M1II has by far the best MFT sensor yet and comes really close to the performance of the top class Sony A6500 APS-C sensor. This is a remarkable achievement. They days are past when MFT sensor were scoring much lower results than Sony ‘s APS-C sensors. And of course it’s on par with the Canon APS-C sensor performance:

ePhotozine posted the full Meike 6.5mm MFT lens review:
The circular fisheye lens is a fairly specialised tool, the frame filling designs being much more prevalent and arguably more generally useful. However, who could argue with that f/2 aperture, with the quality of the results, with the excellent price, with the solid construction? The only difficulty is that judging manual focus is well nigh impossible, but the huge depth of field can cover most situations very well.
If we want to delve into the fisheye world at a reasonable cost and no compromise on quality, then this could well be a very strong contender.
The Meike 6.5mm is available at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de.
