Excellent camera. Weather sealed, responsive etc. etc. But what makes this camera stand out from all the others is its superb image stabilization. I spent one day in my local park with the 40-150 f2.8 lens.

Robust construction; responsive; excellent autofocus and absolutely incredible image stabilization

Menu navigation a bit confusing at first

I've always babied my Olympus. Recently the camera body does not recognize any of the lens I own. When it does connect it is intermittent and impossible to capture a decent shot as it fades in and out of a state where a photo can be taken. Autofocus is nonexistent.

I am a serious hobbyist photographer, shooting primarily landscapes and wildlife. I was interested in transitioning from full-frame Canon gear to Olympus to reduce size and weight for my travels, and enjoy the benefits of the EVF.

Well designed camera that on first blush seems to handle well. However, in three months of ownership it has been functional for about two weeks. Both the function lever (on the first day of use) and one of the control dials (four days after returned from repair) have broken off.

I bought this camera with the 17mm f1.8 as a kit while traveling through different Asian countries, for this trip, I took with me only an old and "dusty" Ricoh GR (who died a few months later).

Thank the stars that Olympus has settled on a name and number, with the second-generation OM-D E-M5 deploying the "Mark II" badge of honour. That's earned confidence: rather than reaching into the numbers pool and being named an E-M27 or something, the E-M5 II builds on the strengths of the original...

Decent build quality and great retro style; 2x2 switch control; all-round improvements from first-generation E-M5; that 5-axis stabilisation system; High Res Shot for 40/64MP tripod-based shots

Too easy to knock front dial and press HDR button by accident; limited battery life as ever; low-light image quality limitations; no 4K video

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is a compelling camera, with a range of features to suit all aspects of photography, from the video enthusiast, who will benefit from the 5-axis image stabilisation and improved video options, or someone looking for high resolution (stills) photography, the 40 megapixel...

? NEW: Olympus has issued an OM-D E-M5 II firmware update, and you can find out how to download and install it at this Olympus firmware web page . At first glance the OM-D E-M5 II firmware update 1.1 looks relatively minor, with just three changes, but two of them are actually quite important.

The E-M5 Mark II is the new flagship Micro Four Thirds compact system camera from Olympus. The third model in the range of cameras dubbed OM-D, the E-M5 Mark II is a classically styled 16.1 megapixel model that offers the world's most effective 5-axis image stabilisation system, rated for up to...

The Olympus E-M5 Mark II is a compact system camera with a Micro Four-Thirds sensor, and the sequel to 2012's OM-D E-M5 . We flat-out loved that camera. This update successfully adds to the winning design without spoiling what was so great about the original.

Great 5-axis OIS; Excellent handling and controls; Much-improved EVF

No 4K video; Lesser detail and high ISO performance than some
