Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II M1240PRO Black 2015
The 5-stop in-body image stabilization and weather-sealed construction distinguish this Micro Four Thirds camera for steady handheld shooting in harsh conditions. A fully articulating 3-inch touchscreen and 9fps mechanical burst provide flexibility for low-angle composition and fast sequences. It’s best for travel photographers needing a lightweight, durable body with effective stabilization for both stills and 1080p video.
