DigitalRev: Olympus OM-D Mark II Hands-on Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 20, 2016

DigitalRev do their typical hands-on with the Olympus OM-D Mark II and the area they there doesn’t seem to be much they dislike beyond the price and menus. Of course the IBIS is amazing, but it’s necessary, because the high ISO still doesn’t keep up with modern APS-C cameras. It’s too bad the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO isn’t a f2 or 2.8.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II has been added to the DPReview studio scene comparison and it does pretty well especially compared to the original. It doesn’t really keep up with the current top of the line APS-C cameras at high ISO, but it’s pretty close.
