Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II Black 2015
The 5-axis image stabilization delivers up to 5 stops of compensation, and the TruePic VII processor enables 10fps bursts from the 16MP Live MOS sensor. A unique 40MP high-resolution shot mode and a weather-sealed, 417g body with a 3-inch articulating screen expand its creative and outdoor versatility. Best for vloggers and action shooters who prioritize smooth handheld footage, though it’s notably weak for controlled product photography.
