Olympus has just lifted the veil on a new hybrid, and both say that this should not surprise you. For good reason, since it is talked about for weeks now. In reality, the OM-D E-M5 II has even been the subject of several notable leaks, so we already knew almost everything about it. Is this a reason to ignore its presentation? No, of course not!
From first glance, the new model looks a lot like its predecessor. It inherits its lines, its compactness and its tropicalisation. However, on the sidelines, Olympus has taken the opportunity to review its ergonomics and correct the defects of his big brother.
I will not list all the additions, but just know that you’ll be able to play with no less than two knobs and six buttons (the trigger) from the right shoulder of the case. The power button and the mode dial located on the other side of the accessory shoe for them.
New ergonomics for OM-D E-M5 II
On the sidelines, there is also the screen is now mounted on a ball joint which can be rotated so himself. Very convenient, and both photo and video.
Data sheet of the OM-D E-M5 II is not left out either. The unit features a well Sensor 4/3 “Live MOS 16.1 million pixel with an RGB filter, not bad chip processing TruePic VII and pretty things thrown in. As a measurement based on TTL 324 zones, sensitivity up to ISO 25600 in extended mode, a speed of 1/8000 to 60 seconds (not finally 1/16000) and a burst mode at 10 frames per second.
It should be noted also that the housing will include a special mode to shoot snapshots of 40 million pixels by merging eight photos.
The aim, she will be through the electronic viewfinder (2,36k points, 100%) or 3-inch screen (1,037k dots).
But the most outstanding feature of the case is its new 5-axis stabilization even more powerful than the old model. As it is built into the case, it will be compatible with all optical and allow us to significantly reduce the shutter speed. Very convenient, especially in the evening or night. With this system, we can actually recover a little more light.
A box built for video
Needless to say, this stabilizer will also play a crucial role in video.
And they’re good enough for Olympus put the package in this field too. Certainly, the OM-D E-M5 II is not able to shoot in 4K, but may capture videos in 1080p at 60, 50, 30, 25 or 24 frames per second. Behind, it will also rely on an ALL-I mode typing to 77 Mbps so there should be plenty to have fun. Obviously I pass on all the effects.
If you want to know more, simply anyway to visit this page that lists all the features of the case. Just know that WiFi will also be there and that the case will be compact (123.7 x 85 x 38 mm) with a weight not exceeding 417 grams without lens, battery and memory card.
Expected at the end of February, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II will be available in gray or black € 1099 bare box. The manufacturer also presented a M. ZUIKO Digital ED 14-150mm f / 4.0-5.6 II will be available on the same date, 699 €.
