I'm one of those guys that needs a camera with me just about everywhere I go...and not just my cell phone. Going out to a cool new restaurant? grab the camera. Hitting up the local flea market? grab the camera. Invited to a friend's kid's birthday party? grab the camera. The camera i was grabbing for all of these occasions, and more, was my D7000 with battery grip and Sigma 18-50 2.8. Quite a handful to lug around. Started researching compact mirrorless cameras, and the cream that rose to the top in my price range was the OM-D EM10 Mark II. I have had it for about 3 weeks, and i am SO glad i invested in this thing. I find that I'm actually shooting more because of the compact size and ease of use. If youve researched this camera at all, you're familiar with the features, so i wont repeat them for you. instead, what i will do is tell you my 2 FAVORITE features. First, the wifi capability...as a photog, i am rarely in photos, including when my wife and i are out together. Being able to set the camera up, connect it to my phone, see a realtime view of the composition, change basic settings like speed, ISO, and aperture, and then capture the photo with a tap of the screen is just amazing. In addition, transferring photos (jpg only) to the phone allow me to edit and post them to social media or email them without even opening my laptop. AWESOME! Secondly, the 5-axis stabilization...one of the hesitations i had with getting into another camera system was the cost. would i have to buy a myriad of lenses to suit my needs? would i have to invest in superfast glass to get decent low-light performance? NOPE. so far i only have the 14-42 kit lens (3.5-5.6), but the stabilization lets me take longer exposures handheld (I'm talking like 1/10 sec). AMAZING! if you're in the market for a compact camera packed with features, this might be the one for you. Tack on a reasonable price, and youve got yourself a gem.Read full review

Nice camera and good images. Easy to use and has viewfinder - important. I bought two of these for two granddaughters who have an interest in photography. I orginally thought of the EPL9, which is aslo a nice camera, but does not have a viewfinder. If they can't see what they are taking, they won't use the camra, so the viewfinder on the EM10 v ii wn out.. I have bigger, higher seced cameras, but still pick up this one frequently. I added the Oly 40-150mmR lens for each of the girls, and they now have nice kit - and taking great pictures. highly recommended.

Used the Olympus for a few weeks and it doesn’t take a bad picture. The setting make even the amateur photographer look like a pro! Worth every penny, would buy it again!

Love how compact it is. This is my first SLR style camera so learning the features and functions is a new ballgame for me. I really like how some of my first few pictures have turned out, though. Definitely worth buying as long as you don't mind educating yourself via youtube on how to use the other modes besides automatic.
