Got mine about five years ago to start getting serious about my hobby of wildlife/bird photography and I love this camera. Paired with the Lumix 100-300 zoom, my photos improve with each trip and with more experience. I am starting to experiment with Infra Red and have yet to fully explore the Bulb settings and other long exposure settings. I’m learning every day and have even used the Olympus OMD E1 mark 2 to video myself for conference presentations. It’s a great little work horse that never disappoints.
Luke, you are very encouraging. I have an older 4/3 lens 12-60 (F2.8-4.0) and I need a body for it I just bought an adapter for micro 4/3. I have Fujifilm cameras and Nikons as well. Thanks for your information on this video. Greetings from Oregon.
agree! 9:31 Had my EM1MII for 6 years! Never, so far, had a problem. And the pro lenses are absolutely top class. Naturally, the autofocus is a little more accurate on fast-moving subjects in the most modern cameras. But much can be compensated there with photography technology. I was thinking of switching for that reason, but regretted it. Very happy with this camera. I am an amateur, but this camera is sufficient for any professional photographer. Thanks for your video feature!
As much as I think so highly of my EM1 MKII and EM5 MKII, I think at the moment the best value camera here in the UK, is the Nikon Z6 MKII. Shops have started to discount them now that the news of the Z6 MKIII has really taken off. I think Olympus did not conduct their marketing as intelligently and aggressively as the likes of Fuji, Sony or even Leica although this one is a different story. To me it seemed like for ever they were apologising for the camera being an MFT. This is nonsense, as I know what these cameras are capable of and I do own Nikon, Canon and Leica film and digital cameras. Here in the UK atleast, the characters who were the ' ambassadors ' were even older and more boring than myself, so Olympus did not really appeal to the young ' photographer '. Just have a look at the people who promote Fuji, Sony, Canon or even Nikon. Too late now, Olympus as a camera manufacturer are no more.
It is a complicated camera with excessive customization options. Please take some time to understand those options and you will get much better results.
Still an amazing camera... Got it for 5 years now, never let me down.

I have other cameras but i have to say, the Em1 mkii has to be the best handling, most comfortable camera i have ever used! Love it!

Still use it to this day for all my real estate shoots. Paired with the Oly 8-25mm, it's a great combo.

I have it but the pictures are poor, my 50$ Android phone's pictures are better than E-M -1 MII
Sorry to hear this. Maybe you haven’t set it up properly.
