Searched for a camera body that would fill in a size between my Panasonic GM-5 and my Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the logical choice was the E-M5 II when I found a used on for sale that came with both grips!

Love this little machine. Output is amazing. I use it with the small Oly primes.

I have the same combo. The E-M5 ii is a bit small even with the grip. My grip is the inexpensive one with no contacts, but it does have battery access. I put some non-skid clear tape (like used in a shower floor) and that helps with the grip.

beameup64, yes, great camera! Three years later, it’s still the camera I grab when I go out to shoot.

I went with a refurbished EM-5 mk ii early last year as a step up from an EPL6 and then last week found an EM-1 with battery grip and only 2200 actuations for $299 delivered. Both are nice enough that I don't feel a need to get a newer model. Liked your reasoning on bodies.

Dale Clark, thank you and congratulations on your good, economical finds! I love my “old” E-M5 II and hardly every use my E-M1 I, though I like it.

I bought a used em5 mkii this year as well as the 12-40 pro and i love them! I already had the em10 mkii and the pen-epl9 but I feel like this camera has really upped my photography.

Would you recommend the em 5 mark ii with 12x40 pro lens, good price right now on b and h, I've got em5 mark iii with 12x45 pro, Second camera Would be nice especially with 12x40, your opinion would be appreciated, thanks

Good reasoning for choosing the em5 ii it's a good all around image making camera I got mine in June with the grip new ,the Olympus system chose me as I got a good deal on two pro Olympus lenses first the 12-40 and the 40-150 I also have the mc14 1.4 extender ,can't wait to get some prime lenses .

Mario Arias - wow, great assembly! I'm envious, though when I tried the 40-150mm for an hour or so last year at Out of Chicago Conference, I felt, for a micro4/3 lens, that it was bigger than I want to carry around. I understand it's an excellent lens, but I opted for the Panasonic 35-100mm, f/4-5.6 for some extra reach. By comparison it's like a VW bug next to a Winnebago RV! I'm loving my Olympus OM-D E-M5 II! Find I'm using it more than my E-M1. Always have the first level grip attached and have yet to use the battery grip. Thanks for commenting, Mario!

Thanks Bill yeah the 40-150 2.8 is heavy especially with the mc 14 converter ,I've used it for wildlife since I live in the country it's equivalent as you know to 420mm but even at that I sometimes wish I had the 300mm f/4 lol .

I got the 70-300mm some time ago and find I don't use it much. Not a birder and, again, though way smaller than the 40-150mm Pro, it's heavy. I keep it, though, "just in case!"

@garyrobinson8665 3 года назад

I had the EM1 and found it a bit big for the EM5 now handling isn't greaat thought about the grip however if I get it I should have just kept the EM1 with grip it will be same size.

@ThePNWRiderWA 7 лет назад

I went down to the m10 mkII. I found it too small even with the grip. So I went to the 5mk II. It seems to be as small as I can go with comfort and I don't have to use the grip ( but I often do for the added battery )

@BillBooz 7 лет назад

The PNW Rider - yeah, that battery grip really ads bulk, so I have not yet even attached it! Will have to give it a try.

@ChrisSmithPhotographer 7 лет назад

That's a great camera!

@BillBooz 7 лет назад

Chris Smith - thanks, Chris. Yes, it is! Very happy with it and, especially, its size.

Ty for the video, Would this camera be worth wild to buy in 2018? I like that it is weatherproof and It might be on sale in November. This upgrade would be from a phone camera and my skills are beginner photography.

DX1 O - in my opinion, yes. It’s a great camera and since getting it now about 14 months ago, it’s the camera I tend to always use (though I am experimenting with limiting myself to my little Panasonic GM-5 camera these days - see some of my recent Video Updates), leaving my E-M1 I (also a fantastic camera!) on the shelf. Together with the weather sealed Oly 12-40mm Pro lens, it’s a wonderful wet weather package and the combo with which I generally take 98% of my photos. I got mine used with the two grips and a couple extra batteries for around $600+ used. I would think that you could find a good deal these days.

DX1 O - check out my “Learning Photography” series. Might be of help if you’re starting out with a camera like the E-M5 II: ru-vid.com/group/PLrB6InlYh7SPcvXSzuWtrmS04Qw8W7VBZ
