Robin Wong: Why OM-5 Mark II Will Be An Important Camera

Robin writes:

Olympus took the imaging industry by storm when they launched the original Olympus OM-D E-M5. E-M5 was groundbreaking – it paved the way to future of mirrorless cameras and showed the world how truly capable a Micro Four Thirds camera can be. It was a “wow” camera that propagated Micro Four Thirds into the front line of the race – leading the pack and showing how to make a great looking, compact, robustly built, feature packed camera. I believe the magic can be repeated in OM-5 Mark II, and this can bring back the spotlight to Micro Four Thirds again.
