Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
I think this is a very fair review. Thom is a highly respected tog and a big Nikon user who also uses u43. I particularly liked this point:

Re: Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
Excellent, thanks for that, Paul.
Very fair, I'd say, and good to learn about the stabilisation priority point.

Re: Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
Whenever I pick up one of the Olympus cameras, I'm immediately reminded of all the things they simply get right, without fuss. This was especially true having recently spent a couple of weeks shooting with a Sony A7 II. It's a great camera*, with amazing DR, but doesn't hold a candle to my OMD and Pen bodies when it comes the pleasure of picking it up and using it. Olympus puts the photographer front and centre of everything they do.
* And, I think, a real nerd's camera, when it comes to using adapted lenses. |

Re: Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
Nice review, I have always used Canon cameras still do but the light weight of the Omd is a joy to use it's hard to fault it .
The only thing I don't like with the controls is the very soft shutter I often take a shot when I didn't mean to . Rob. |

Re: Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
Good review. I still struggle with the explanation about the two different types of IS . FPS or SIS priority. What exactly is being re-centered when its set at SIS is it the sensor itself and if so doesn't that put everything back out of focus?

Re: Thom Hogan review of E-M1ii
The sensor only moves in a single plane (the five axis marketing thing is a bit confusing) so IBIS movement won't affect the focus.
The issue with its interaction with shutter rate is simply this: - The sensor moves during exposure to correct for camera shake. That means that it's displaced from central at the end of the shot. - To allow max correction for any movement on the next shot, it's best to move the sensor back to the centre before exposure starts. - This takes time which reduces the max FPS. There are two ways out of this: - Slow the FPS to allow the sensor to recentre - IS priority - Live with the sensor being where it is but accept less effective motion compensation - FPS priority. |
