I have waited almost a year before writing this review to give myself time for an honest evaluation. I was a former Canon shooter for probably 30+ years. A couple of years ago I invested in an EM5 MkII and started building a lens collection to match the Pro lineup I was used to with Canon.

the best camera on the market by far

feels; looks and is great

a better model will come along

Excellent services by Cardinal Camera and Video! The camera was shipped the next day and arrived in four days with standard free shipping. My new E-M1 II arrived as brand new and unopened condition, as described and in its original packing with screen protectors and sealing pads and bags.

This is my on the go camera these days. I have a DSLR user for a long time but the size of them keeps them on the shelf. OMD EM1 is very intuitive, versatile especially with the Pro Lens12-40 mm f2.8. From landscape to headshot photograpy. It is fast enough for action photo for my use and taste.

I work intensively in entomology museums to photographs TYPES of wild bee species (mainly bumblebees Bombus and flower-bees Anthophora). I now use a "light" kit to transport my stacking material in hand-luggage.

Having replaced a Canon 5DSR system and lenses for a system that I can carry in its entirety for up to 6hrs + a day I must say I am impressed. The things this camera cannot do you can write on a postage stamp, for those photographers who like settings and menu's this camera is for you!

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

I have recently sold all of my Canon gear to purchase the M1 Mark II and 3 pro lenses. The initial test shots from the camera using each of the 3 lenses are superb! It's solidly built, very responsive and the image quality is on par with the Canon Mark iii.

Works great, and is very fast. I use this with the Olympus 75 f1.8 to shoot hockey, and the AF with the latest firmware is fantastic. Much better AF than any of Olympus's previous efforts including their SLR's.

Having come from a SLR and Dslr background, this camera I believe will be a first model in the dominance of DSLRs in the enthusiast/pro sector. It is amazingly fast, sharp, bright and versatile. Just allow a lot of time to adjust to the menu system and controls.
