Olympus Pen F vs OM-D E-M5 Mark II 

Great comparison. One small correction, though. At 1:08 - "It's the first time a 20mp sensor has been put into micro four thirds." That's incorrect. The GX8 (released 7 months earlier than the Pen-F) was the first m/43 camera to use a 20MP sensor.

Excellent review, thank you!

Very helpful and thorough comparison. Thank you. 👍

I would like to see you to put up a specific review for the em5 mark ii 😃

great review ~! keep up

Hello David, thank you for this well done comparison. I am currently trying to decide between the two and your really has helped. You mentioned a lot of points other reviewers failed to mention. I think I would choose the Pen F as of today. It's a pity that it isn't equipped with the weather sealing and a microphone port as the EM5 is. But then you can't always have everything... . Keep up the good work!

Hi David Really enjoyed your em1 vs xt1 reviews a couple years ago as I foind them, enjoyable honest and accurate too so good to see you back with the same good stuff. Btw bought and em1 based on your review and no regrets at all

What of the menu systems? Any improvement in the Pen F?

thanks glad I got the mark II

Hi David, the review is deifinetly good but i was enjoying the yard where you sitting, with nostalgic fan, rustic set up. its so nice, would be nice to have a breakfast there. is this your home~?

Very informative, thank you. I have the OMD EM5II... but now I'd like a Pen F as well!! Oh dear...

If you were to compare the two cameras for video use (vlogging style), which would you recommend?

No mention of the most important feature for us who want to film on the go. 5 axis stabilization. Worthy of its own video IMO. I want a small form factor camera, with lots of lens choices, and take great photos and video without having to carry around a gimbal while traveling.

Enjoying your reviews. You give a little different perspective then others, which i find helpful. Love the Asia background and pictures.

I like the Pen F too!

it seems like your in the Philippines....

hi tonytoytruck. i didnt mention it as they both have it and it works the same in both. It's equally brilliant in both so I didnt feel the need to compare it.

how does the in body image stabilisation compare between the two cameras?

Thanks Jay. The full write up will be on my website soon. www.thecotswoldphotographer.com Next up is the Fuji XT2.

Thanks for sharing your knowlege, subsctibed.

soy aficionado a la fotografía y tengo una canon 700D y también estoy pensando en cambiar a una olimpus m5 mark2 que hablan maravillas de esa cámara, pero tengo dudas por sensor mas pequeño. Como te va a ti? me aconsejas el cambio? que tal la calidad de fotografía? Saludos.

nice review david, im looking for pen f though.. btw are you in indonesia when you reviewed this ?

Thanks.

Great review, do the art filters effect the evf? I hope so!

The Pen's are difficult to hold with big lenses on

I prefer EM5....

Canada

Pen-f without a doubt. I had girls hitting on me thanks to this superb camera.

I am looking for days now. The pen f would have been perfect if it was weatherseeled...grrrrrr🤔 so enoying!!!!

That "art" dial is such an eyesore. Why would they devote so much valuable limited real estate to such a basically useless gimmick? Since there's no actual grip (another ergonomic disaster) the dial tends to act as a very poor grip as your fingers scrape across it.

Видео обе снимают гавняно :(
