Adrian Rohnfelder (Click here) published his Final Olympus E-M1II field report:
The M1 Mark II comes with a new 20.4 megapixel Live MOS sensor (not the sensor of the Pen F!) with a promise of a higher dynamic range. I wasn’t able to take pictures for comparison with the old M1 but I have the personal impression of indeed an improvement. Pictures of snowy mountains at backlit, of the unbelievable colours of Landmannalaugar, of the contrast of black lava and white snow all are clear and full of details.

Imaging Resource posted their final G85 conclusions:
The Panasonic GX85 truly does pack a whole lot of advanced features and performance into a compact, portable package, and all for a fair price. And while it’s not perfect (no camera is), it’s currently one of the best all-around Micro Four Thirds cameras on the market for those looking for a small yet powerful interchangeable lens camera. As such, we have no reservations recommending the Panasonic GX85 and awarding it a definite Dave’s Pick.
