Chris (video on top): “Just thought I’d share this short film I made with the Olympus E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II and a range of PRO lenses. It’s about a converted american school bus that’s roaming around Europe in the chase of adventure. Surf and waves in summer, snow and mountains in winter.”

These images do show the new GH5 on the left and the older GH4 on the right. As you see the GH5 has no more a built-in flash. And I am not sure I will like that position change of the record button…

E-M1II tested at TheVerge: “Olympus has pushed the MFT format to insane limits”

Share


The E-M1II will be finally be back in Stock on January 5th at Amazon US

TheVerge posted their full E-M1II review and writes:

The E-M1 Mark II is a breath of fresh air in an industry that values iteration over innovation. The camera is one of a very few that signal the changes to come that are going to affect the very fundamentals of photography. For the moment, it’s hard to truly imagine where those changes will take us. But one thing’s for sure: the ride is about to get a whole lot faster.

Olympus E-M1II preorders:
In USA at BHphoto, Amazon, GetOlympus and Adorama.
In Europe at ParkCameras. WexUK. Digitech.ch.
