ADVANTAGE

But at the same time robust and sealed . Its touch screen and tiltable up to 270º is something that you will appreciate for both your compositions and your videos, as well as the possibility of connecting wirelessly thanks to WIFI, the quality of its advanced electronic viewfinder or its 10fps. Its 5-axis IBIS stabilizer will allow you to work in low light conditions or with moving scenes in both photography and video, also obtaining a very reliable approach thanks to its 81 contrast focus points. Last but not least, it highlights its high resolution shooting: which allows, through the capture of eight sequential images and mix them into one, to create a high resolution image of 40MP.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5 MARK II

While the quality of its videos is very good, the truth is that this camera does not record 4k, as many of its competitors do. It may be a great inconvenience for you if you wanted to dedicate yourself to the topic of video. But to the simple and demanding mortals, I don't think I should worry especially .
