Pros: Great camera, great ergonomics, image quality, computational functions

Cons: Price

Opinion: Purchased to support (first) and replace (then) my Lumix S9. Although the S9 had excellent image quality and a small body, on full-frame it is the lenses, especially if zoomed, that nullify any dimensional advantage of the camera. The OM-1 Mark II guarantees a fantastic grip, a small size with the 12-40 f2.8 in a perfectly balanced body that is a pleasure to use. I didn't have any problems in low light or bokeh, things that are typically highly criticized in the micro4/3 format. You obviously have to know what you use and how to use it to make it perform at its best, but understood this is truly a camera lady. The build quality is incredible, the ergonomics are incredible, the computational functions are fantastic and the high res with 14-bit raw allows recoveries absolutely comparable to the full frame I used before. If I had to complain about one thing it would be the price, however quite high and with the OM-3 that guarantees a use comparable to a lower price (but with worse ergonomics) or the G9 II (but without computational functions and with a clumsy camera body for the micro4/3).

Pros: Excellent camera, excellent autofocus, super sharpness, photonic build quality, excellent ND filters and super resolution!

Cons: For now, no one

Opinion: I went from the OM-D EM-10 Mark IV to the OM-1 Mark II and I have to say that there was a significant leap in all respects. I thought it was much bigger but it's not that bulky and heavy, you feel that you're dealing with a more professional camera and another level. I like it a lot in all respects, battery that lasts a long time, superlative image quality, the small sensor?! Honestly I don't feel so much of a problem despite having had an FF. For me, the OM-1 remains a super and noteworthy machine!

Pros: build quality; finally a reliable face recognition; very responsive; some computational functions that are also useful in the real world (GND)

Cons: Unable to customize MAF square color. AEL lever too small and uncomfortable to be used as an on/off.

Opinion: I invested in the mark II at the end of April, in view of new more complex and more frequent jobs (sports/cycling/adventure photography). I didn't regret it at all. Of course, like everything it can be improved, and some details make me turn up my nose, such as the lack of color customization of the MAF that makes me lose the cursor quite often (only using the LCD screen, of course). But overall it is reliable, robust, sufficiently performing in CAF and with face recognition, which in some cases allows you to get less tired when shooting for 12 hours straight. The very advanced customization allows you to sew the machine on your workflow, maximizing effectiveness. I talk more about my experience with the OM1.II on my website cicloreporter.com

Pros: Pretty much everything, plus the new color science and gnd filters. In the hands of experts and those who know and appreciate the system, it will give fun and satisfaction in use and fantastic results up to ISO 12800 and beyond... While in hasty hands, such as those of FF owners or curious and impatient people, who do not know and do not know how to use the system properly, it will be denigrated and resold after three hours. I already hear them: "at high ISO it sucks" / "it doesn't make a photo in focus" .." it kneads everything"..."at 200 ISO there is an incredible noise" etc etc ... the usual nursery rhyme; )

Cons: The same as the Mark I, if we want to call them defects ... i.e. the continuous autofocus still not at the level of the best competition and the limited dynamic range .. Obviously the firmware update procedure through Workspace.. It's time to stop it with this extremely complex process !!! Give us the firmware to copy on the card and we do everything in the car. Value of the used, as usual OMsystem pieces after purchase are no longer worth anything

Opinion: Since more than 10 months after the release of the camera there is still nowhere a review worthy of being called such, and no one has been and is able to tell you how the camera really goes and what has changed compared to the Mark I, I will make yet another effort and I will tell you. There has only been talk, like parrots, of improved autofocus and improved stabilization. BALES!!! Placed and emphasized that we are talking about a super-performing autofocus and a stabilization at the top, probably the best ever, but the autofocus has remained exactly the same as before and the stabilization as well. The continuous autofocus still tends to lose the subject and then hang it up during tracking, perhaps imperceptibly less than before, but with the two cameras side by side for days (both before and after the 1.7) I could not see appreciable differences... The stabilization is exactly the same as before, the times you can go down to with any lens are exactly the same as before... The detection of the various subjects has received minimal changes and practically only in form, not in substance. Except in birdlife, where recognition really makes a huge difference, at a professional level or where there are various subjects the camera must be used in single point, as well as all other FF flagships. the various speeches on the tracking of faces that are so fashionable in the forums are stuff for those who use the camera as a pastime on Sunday afternoons in the historic center or on Sunday morning at the game of their son ... things that don't interest me and don't serve me at all ... The only difference from the OM1 Mark I is the new color science. and I don't understand how no one noticed it and no one talked about it, evidently the level of competence and interest in micro 4/3 has dropped to a tragic level, worse than I feared .... Just look at the files to immediately notice the difference... the new colors you find more natural, more pleasant, it has been reduced to a minimum, practically eliminated any tendency towards magenta, which had already been reduced in the Mark I compared to all the other models. The retention of the file at high ISO has also improved ( a little of course ..) , starting from luminance noise the maintenance of the detail and contours of the subject has improved. Rightly, however, many could ask if it is worth changing the OM1 I for the II, and my answer is mainly NO, unless you want to have the new GND filters in your room, which are the only really valid reason to upgrade. Although the procedure is rather cumbersome and slow, however, I really like the final result, the difference can be seen, especially because you can correctly expose the shaded area which has always been the most critical for the type of sensor... I find the shot with the GND filter significantly better than the high-resolution shot that was underexposed and then recovered. The new 14bit high resolution file (it retains greens and shadows better in low light situations) doesn't tell me much, as it is still too limited in practice. the high resolution Olympus/OM files are very clean and workable but unfortunately the detail is too planed... they do not always give benefits, you have to evaluate from time to time .. The buffer has more than doubled... true, but it only makes a difference when using Pro Capture, and in any case it remains significantly inferior to that of the FF flagships. But personally I have never had problems even with the buffer of the Mark I and shooting bursts repeatedly. To evaluate the resistance of the materials over time, I hope that they will be more durable than those of the OM1 I, which strips off paint too quickly and whose ferrules tend to harden over time and lose fluidity.

Pros: Improved buffer, very precise intelligent autofocus. Even better stabilization. Rubber nuts are definitely more manoeuvrable! Really very useful gnd filter for landscapes and nd filter set to 128 to have an even silkier effect when photographing water in motion ! Hi-res works at 14-bit for professional color accuracy

Cons: I didn't find any cons at the moment

Opinion: The Om1 is and still remains a great camera, it always has that buffer problem (even if in reality the shots that use it thoroughly are not that many) it has some small indecision on autofocus tracking. The new OM1 mk II has eliminated these two problems that are of some importance for those who do birdlife and sports! Now you can be sure that you will always bring home the best! The system now has a good arrow in its bow!
