Product Overview

Olympus OM-D E-M5 II is a mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2015, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 16 MP (4608 x 3456) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.

The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. One should note that the OM-D E-M5 II has a 200 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 10.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 II comes with a fully articulated touch display and 81 autofocus points.
