Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II
The Ultimate OM-D!
Compared to the previous E-M1, and all other Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras, the E-M1 II is an improvement in every way.  The new 20MP Live MOS sensor provides a useful bump in resolution.  Dual quad core processors combine to allow 60 fps burst shooting (18 fps with autofocus).  An incredibly advanced autofocus system (121 focus points covering 75-80% of the frame) grabs subjects instantly without hunting, and doesn’t let go when tracking.

Gariz’s half case for the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is now available on Amazon in Black and Brown. This case also supports their sling system (Black and Brown), which I have used before and it works very well.

TCSTV: Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 23, 2017

Typical TCSTV Review of the Olympus OM-F E-M1 Mark II. Kind of interesting that pro-capture mode causes the EVF/LCD refresh speed to be greatly reduced according to Chris. Also he doesn’t sound overly satisfied with the continuous AF system, which could be improved with a firmware update in the future hopefully. I find a lot of what Olympus is doing exciting, but like many I can’t wait for the price drop to buy.

DXO: Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk II

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 21, 2017


It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the new Olympus OM-D Mark II has the best m43 sensor yet, but even DXO couldn’t help but to point out the new pricing strategy in their conclusion. Olympus and Panasonic would likely sell a lot more cameras if they reduced the price of their flagships to around $1,500, which is where similar sized sensor Fujifilm and Sony cameras are priced. Although they should be below that in keeping with the spirit of m43. The new Panasonic GH5 is obviously a more specialized camera so it can demand a premium in my opinion since it is truly unique, but when the OM-D Mark II comes down to a reasonable price ill pick one up.

Conclusion
Although consortium partner Panasonic has since announced the video-centric Lumix DMC-GH5 at the same price point, at around $2,000, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk II seems at odds with the previously competitive pricing of the Four Thirds models. All the same, the E-M1 Mk II remains one of the most intriguing and appealing cameras announced in recent months, while the sensor itself sets a new standard for that format.

Shogun Inferno Can do 10-bit 60p 4K 4:2:2 on Panasonic GH5

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 20, 2017

The Panasonic GH5 is shaping up to be every bit as impressive as its predecessors. Panasonic knows how to provide cinematographers with incredible video performance at very reasonable prices. It is impressive that a relatively affordable camera like the GH5 will be able to do 10-bit 60p 4K 4:2:2 with a Shogun Inferno.
