Extended second impressions from Andalucia by Mirrorlessons:

The E-M1 II is not slightly more expensive that its predecessor at launch, it is 40% more expensive. The question becomes: is the camera worth such an investment?
I can’t answer this question completely after just one day of testing. For now I think it depends on how you look at it.
From a strict technological point of view, I can’t think of anything that gets close to what this camera has, and I am not just talking about the Micro Four Thirds system. I could easily expand this conversation to other mirrorless and DSLR systems. What you can do today with the stabilisation is impressive, what you might be able to do tomorrow with the High Res Shot even more.

Last week we on 43rumors reported about an issue of the Image Stabilization on the G80 camera. Well now we have good news: On Instagram Panasonic confirmed this:

Less than a week ago, Panasonic became aware of some reports that the G85’s image stabilization wasn’t delivering the same level of smooth performance that the GX85 is while slow panning in video mode. Panasonic is working to solve the issue with a firmware update as soon as we can. Panasonic appreciates all the valuable feedback and always focuses on meeting or exceeding our customers’ expectations.

Thanks Panasonic!

Yannick: “I took some time to test the Olympus 60mm macro and the Panasonic 35-100 2.8 with the G7. The colors from this time of the year were also a good way to practice color grading in Premiere. Subtitles are available for details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAPJl85clcw“
