Here is a E-M5II video shot at -25 Celsius!

ESCAPE = JOY – KAUASxOLYMPUS from KΛUΛS on Vimeo.

Techradar interviewed the director of the E-m5II video “escape=joy” Janne Tarvonen. Here are some of his comments:

1) We shot the video at -20-25 degrees celsius.
2) We even shot some scenes (handheld) with a 300mm focal length and lots of movement in the picture. The autofocus worked really well here, especially the scene where the snowmobiles are moving down from the hill.
3) The stabilizer is a game changer really. It doesn’t only work in big movements like when following the subject by walking, but also in small movements like doing really small pulls and pushes [moving in and out] with the camera. The stabilizer gives so much freedom in run-and-gun style shoots where you can’t really carry a lot of gear with you.

Curiosity from John Brawley on Vimeo.

John Brawley posted that great Vimeo video you can see on top. And there is another Behind The Scenes video you can watch on Vimeo (Click here). And there is an overall E-M5II review on his blog at johnbrawley.wordpress.com. At the end he says:

Olympus are officially in the filmmaking game and this is only their first serious effort at making a camera with appeal to those of us that want our stills cameras to also shoot motion. Although the headline specs might not seem all that impressive compared to others at first glance, you should consider the total package and with their IS it starts to become a really interesting camera for certain applications. There’s certainly nothing else like it.

Now let’s see what Olympus will do with the E-M1II ;)
