It is a great for sure. Got it last night. Had a chance to use it today for a video shoot I was doing. More in depth review in a few days once I get a chance to really run it.
It handled video like a champ though. Only used in 1080/60. No chance to try the 4k yet.
Initial thoughts:
Larger size and better grip are perfect. Feels like a good DSLR grip, but with less weight.
AF is noticeable better than the EM1. Point to point is more confident, C-AF initial AF acquisition is way quicker. In my limited tracking tests, the tracking box was always spot on.
The shutter sound is quiet and a bit different sounding than the EM1.1. It feels better dampened.
I can't figure out how to change the AF point size. It is large size. The way you change that on previous OMD cameras does not work here and could not find it in the manual.
The front dial has clicks, but is a lot smoother than the 1.1. rear disk feels about the same as the 1.1
Battery is huge compared to BLN-1. As far as life is concerned. Fully charge battery last night. Setup camera, did a few test shots, toyed with the Pro Capture mode and AF settings.
Ran the video shoot today. Camera on continuously for almost 2.5 hours, shot 8 GB of 1080 video, battery at 53%. IBIS was on the whole time, rear LCD used. Came home, did a few more tests with video and shot some stills. Battery at 43%. Battery % is a great feature.
If anyone has any requests/inquiries, let me know. Sample pics, video, feature test whatever.
