The O-MD E-M5 Mark II is, without doubt, a worthy successor to the E-M5, and surpasses all of my expectations, providing excellent image quality in a well-built and stylish compact system camera. All that’s left is for me is to pull my bank card out of my wallet so I can buy it, once I’ve decided whether to go for the black or the silver version! Something that hasn’t happened since the original E-M5, some three years ago…

Olympus has made it clear that the E-M5 Mark II isn’t meant to replace its flagship E-M1 camera, but rather act as an entryway to its Micro Four Thirds platform. With that reasoning in mind, I have no doubt the E-M5 Mark II is worth buying; I’m just not sure why anyone wouldn’t spend the extra $300 for the even better overall package that is the E-M1.

The Olympus OMD EM5 Mk II is a wonderful camera. It deserves all the praises and wonderful awards that you can possibly give it. Wifi, great image quality, a high resolution image mode to add to the future proofing, crazy fast AF, great lenses, a nice feel, weather sealing, focus peaking that works well, what more could a photographer seriously ask for?

Sigma 30mm MFT lens by DSLRmagazine
Sigma Rumors got a hint about Sigma’s next lens for mirrorless system cameras. In September Sigma could launch the 24mm f/2.8 ART DN which as usual with those lenses should come in all possible mounts including Micro Four Thirds.
Currently Sigma already offers three MFT lenses:
[shoplink 52054 ebay]The 19mm f/2.8 on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 52055 ebay]The 30mm f/2.8 on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 52056 ebay]The 60mm f/2.8 on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
These are not very fast primes but they are cheap and deliver a very good optical quality.
