E-M5II in depth review analysis:
Those are some of the most interesting feedback from the reviewers:
TheCameraStoreTV:
– Sensor is update. 1 stop better low light performance compared to the E-m1 (43rumors note: No other reviewer noticed such an improvement. Take the statement with a grain of salt!).
– 40 Megapixel high resolution mode works with the electronic shutter to make very fast multiple shots.
– Has in best in camera stabilization we have seen.
Robin Wong:
– Feels even more solid than the original E-M5
– Mechanical shutter sound is somewhat more refined, and silent, in comparison to the E-M1 or E-M10
– The improvements to the 5-Axis Image Stabilization was evident, and a huge welcome, especially when it comes to video recording.
Dpreview:
– The Mark II’s construction is some of the best we’ve encountered outside the pro DSLR sphere: an improvement over the original OM-D.
– High resolution mode: Because the first four steps ensure the Olympus is sampling all colors at all pixel positions (in addition to then repeating the process for an offset position), it means super-fine detail doesn’t result in false color. In addition, it also ensures that the camera’s color resolution is as high as its luminance resolution (something we’ve only seen before with Sigma’s Foveon technology). This becomes clearly visible in the final crops, where despite the two image’s similar pixel counts, the Olympus image is able to much more accurately render the color resolution targets.
DSLRmagazine (Spanish):
– Coming months a specific Adobe plugin should come to be able to process the 63 megabyte RAW files created by the Multishot feature (they have a full Mutlishot test with the 40MP JPEG files).
