GEAR TESTS: Olympus OMD EM1-MKII

Carlos Quilichini Olympus Team Member

Shooting and traveling with the OM-D E-M1MKII & PT-EP14 housing during the Digital Shootout was super fun! The best part was it doesn't weight a ton. As a traveler, I hate carrying big and heavy bags with me. I mean, who does? The E-M1MKII is lighter & smaller compared to any DSLR system. Combine the E-M1MKII with our PT-EP14 housing made of polycarbonate material and avoid baggage fees. Airlines are not making our traveling experience easier; they are constantly changing policies and restricting bags. 

The E-M1MKII packs some serious horse power with a 20MP Live MOS sensor. Amazing 5 axis image stabilization will help you keep videos steady not only under
water, but also top side and will help you capture images in low light situations. The autofocus system has 121 cross-type focusing points giving the user the option of selecting multiple pattern options like a 3x3 box, 5 point target, single point and smaller single point for critical & precise focus. Shooting any action splits? E-M1MKII can burst up to 60 fps in RAW. Users can customize these cameras to their preference for shooting macro, wide angle or video. The mode dial on top of the camera will allow programming 3 different shooting preferences. As well, the camera offers plenty of functions buttons for quick access.
