    A Great Camera for Spontaneous Opportunities

    I really enjoy photographing birds in flight. So after much research I purchased an E-M1X and a 40-150 F2.8 Pro lens. I was blown away with the performance and quality of that combination. However, together they are a little too large to keep under the car seat ready for a spontaneous opportunity to present itself. So I started looking for a smaller back-up system which wouldn’t make me give up too much performance in order to always be at the ready. I didn’t have to look far, the E-M1 Mark II was the obvious choice. The Mark II is a professional level camera. It was designed to satisfy a demanding level of user who needs it to perform regardless of the conditions, and it shows in the outstanding build quality and its performance. It has enough of the features of the E-M1X to satisfy what I need, in the size I was looking for, and at a great price. In the short time I’ve had it, its enabled me to get shots of multiple birds including bald eagles and red tailed hawks I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. This camera wasn’t intended to be my primary camera and replace my E-M1X, but for most users it could certainly fit that bill. Once again, I’m highly impressed with OM-D and their Olympus products. Well done, and thank you.

    Perfect camera for a Art Photography

    Amazing High-Resolution Camera in a small package. It is incredible how many things you can program on Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II. This camera allows you to tailor it perfectly to your needs, style, and comfort. It makes High Resolution fully detailed pictures, which they can rival Full Frame Cameras. It is small, light, and portable. I upgraded from an Olympus Om-D EM-5 Mark II to this wonderful, 20MP Olympus Om-D EM-1 Mark II. Right away I knew how much different both cameras were. Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II is a fully professional tool, which allows you to take great pictures in high resolution and great 4K videos. This camera does not leave my side. It is always ready for me to take pictures. Some functions and programing require you to be patient and you need time to learn. But the payback for it is huge. I used Canon cameras for thirty years, and then I both my first Olympus, OM-D EM-10 Mark II. I can tell you from my experience, Olympus is the best maker if it comes to digital cameras with incredible ability to adjust it for you. Canon camera's functions are totally limited comparing to any Olympus cameras, especially OM-D EM-1 Mark II. I think this camera is one of the best digital cameras on the market right now. I would say, if you can't afford an Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II, start saving all your money. It is that good.
