Fredrik: “I have compared five different fisheye lenses: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2015/11/fisheye-lenses-compared.html
My conclusion is that the Samyang 7.5mm lens is the best for Micro Four Thirds use, with a low price tag and a very good performance. The Olympus 9mm body cap lens is also interesting, with a quite good image quality for the price.”

E-M10II sensor gets tested at DxO: “Solid performer”

Share

dxoem10II

DxOmark (Click here) tested the E-M10II sensor and there is not surprise at all. The sensor is the same as the one used on the E-M1 and E-M5II:

With the addition of the vaunted 5-axis stabilization (albeit a modified version), an improved high-res viewfinder and some worthwhile tweaks to the handling, including the useful AF targeting pad, the E-M10 II no longer feels like a entry-level model. Combined with an accessible price and a sensor performance that’s similar to the mid-range E-M5 II which in turn is close to the very best 4/3 format sensors there’s little doubt the E-M10 II is an attractive option and solid choice.
