This is what happens when cameras don’t sell and Oly takes 2 years to upgrade FW of their flagship while Sony is bringing new models. Sony is kickin butt! with decent IBIS, better sensors and IQ, better video, almost similar size, better focusing and a little more weight.
and the butt ugliest cameras out there ….. ugly square boxes with expensive lenses!
i like the butts. specially big ones.
EM5II is one of the best looking cameras on the planet. Have you seen the next Leica? All of the Sony cameras are nice, but they do have that refrigerator look going on. Totally sterile.
Pretty myopic viewpoint typical of a fanboy.
The Sony strategy of trying to kill the non-35mm segment of the market using price (generating huge revenue losses) and migrate everyone to Sony 35mm and Sony/Zeiss glass has essentially peaked with the release of the A7RII.
When will Sony release the A7RIII and how many A7RII owners will upgrade?
Unless Sony converts legions of CaNikon high-end users and convince them to buy Sony/Zeiss glass, the buy market share using low price strategy has basically run its course and run out of gas…good luck with that one.
Sony will soon try to attack the APS-C/m43segment with product (mostly bodies minus lenses) versus price, but alas it will be too much, too little, too late…missed opportunity.
Keep in mind the the low end of those new models is more expensive than the most expensive m43 camera. Sony a7 cameras are very expensive. They better perform better.
oh, if only the lenses would be much smaller and the same price of Olympus, I would consider one. The body of a camera is not the only item I look I in a camera system.
I shoot both and no- I do not think Sony is kicking but. AF behind, no touchscreen functionality which Olympus has perfected at this point…
No multi-shot mode
A7II still has that AA filter on it
Tilt screen tripping the EVF thing..going on…annoying
No awesome zooms with that push pull thingy Olympus has for AF/MF
No affordable nothing
Mediocre 35 2.8 and overpriced 35mm 1.4.
I think I’m done but yeah- the A7II is a great camera. I just don’t think it’s that’s awesome. If only Olympus made a FF but then again- I don’t care!
i disagree and i am not saying Sony is perfect. I am just saying that Sony is innovating more than anyone else, specially Olympus. Olympus has not figured out accurate auto focus yet, it still sucks for anything moving. the menu system sucks, it is a pain to setup back button focusing, video is still lagging. i can list 10 other things too.
BTW, Zeiss 35 f2.8 is better than olympus 17 f1.8. i have tested them both and it is better in every aspect from build, to weather sealed, to better resolution.
Zeiss 35 is another level than the 17mm 1.8. I’ll probably end up owning that 35 but doh! It’s only 7 blades and the bokeh is a bit busy stopped down.
I’ve had excellent performance with even C-AF on my EP5: Surprisingly so. touchscreen integration is near perfect IMO.
Is it time for the E-M1 mkII yet?
For a really great bargain, check out the E-M1 refurbished model still available at getolympus.com for only…wait for it…$959. It even comes with a 90 day warranty…how can you lose?!?!? Better jump on this deal….those refurbished E-M1’s will be going like hotcakes!
I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.
