New Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II - The perfect camera???

AGreed. If you buy smart and second hand and swap your bodies quickly and often then you hardly lose anything.

Only thing wrong with that is that this time I am buying a new body and when I come to sell it in three years time when the mark 3 is out I will lose a lot on it no doubt.

Lens, if you buy used or grey import new and buy the quality lens, you normally dont lose out when you come to sell them.

They are being mean on the 75mm as average selling price on Ebay is at least £100 more, pretty much what I paid for it still when I bought mine a year ago.
 
Too damn right! As soon as I get mine I will see how far i can hand hold it. I wont have the new 12-100 yet. Couldnt afford both, that will have to come later
 
Don't go much on it, seems to lack dof, iso performance could be better and not great on dynamic range.
For the price I'd have expected better.
 
Money is in the features though. Dof Is more the fine unless you absolutely must have razor thin where the eye is in focus and the cheek isn't which I personally don't like the look off.

Dynamic rang is improved half a stop to a full stop. Okay it will never compete with ff bodies but it's up there with a lot of aps bodies now.

I was miffed at the price to begin with but I suspect all cameras are going to get more and more. Rumour has it the new gh5 is same price.

dof is what it has and can be used to advantage
shallow dof is what is does not although speed boosters will help in this regard or 0.95 aperture lenses
 
well yes and no ,think pro capture is af locked so not really ideal so unless you are sure of subjects position could be awkward otherwise.
still 18fps c-af electronic or 10fps mechanical will be fine for most events although the electronic will have minimal rolling shutter in some cases just avoid fans props etc and fast pans .
 
Not here, Wex dont get theirs till tomorrow so I should have mine for Friday.

Park Cameras are getting their stock today.

Stupidly a small independent camera shop got theirs Monday morning and I know a guy who collected his Monday lunchtime :(
 
I wonder how soon the photo hire companies will have some in stock to rent.
I need to satisfy myself about the improved CAF and low light/high ISO capabilities.
 
Can't wait to have a play this weekend!!!!!!!
