Hi Matt. Thanks - mirrorless is a little different to DSLR isn't it?

Hi Martin. Thanks for the info, that's great. Just need to re-educate myself to trust some of the camera settings. I did a course many years ago with The Photography Institute which encouraged me to use manual settings, which works well on the older Olympus cameras I'm used to!

Different yes, but not necessarily better (any more) - it heavily depends on the mirrorless. My best low light camera is the Nikon Z 6, but not by much - because the D750 is still so good. The most surprising camera in that respect, however, was the rather humble Nikon Z 50 - it punches way(!) above its class in terms of low light performance; it's almost there up until ISO 3200 when compared to FF, even the Z 6. But - almost, not quite. However, the Z 50 outperforms my former APS-C champion, the Nikon D5500 I used to have. So, it's not the "SLR" part, it's the sensor - as a whole, not just "bigger is better". My Sony A7 II performs no better up to ISO 1600 than my A6000 - and both are outpaced by the Nikon Z 50. That's one of the reaons I'll sell the A7 II ... once it's feasible again around here.
That said, the latest
20MP sensors are still the best in that system when it comes to low light shooting. ISO 1600 is really usable, no real qualms. It's not APS-C class - but close enough - so close that I'd actually pick my E-M5 III over the Fujifilm X-E3; performance is certainly good enough, and I.B.I.S. does the rest. And remember, your E-M1 II sports the same sensor!All in all, you should be fine with the E-M1 II - it's a great camera, especially for the price. To my eye, it has no major weaknesses as a main camera - except in extreme cases.

A couple from today. Thanks to Matt and Martin for the advice. Set the ISO to Auto, with a limit of 6400 as it was such a grey day.
The edge of the cloud bank.
Stream beside the road. Love the I.S. on the E-M1 II - this was hand held and a 1 second exposure.

My E-P5 came with a 14-42 II lens, which I was planning to sell. I may still do so, but it's not too bad and quite a useful little lens to have in the kitbag. I need to try it on some different subject matter before deciding. These are all from the raw files. I prefer the way Lightroom handles these to the JPEGs, which is strange as I generally really like Olympus JPEGs.

It seemed like a good day for the Dramatic Tone filter today

The moon around 6pm in Herefordshire tonight. No post processing and had the digital teleconverter on for this.

Herefordshire is great for astro and lunar photography, the skies are so dark outside the few towns. I got my few part-successful Milky Way shots from my back garden in Weobley!

Thinking the 12-14mm range may be my favourite. Or maybe I just like pancakes with a nice minimum focus distance for optimal hand-held selfies?

A little wander around the garden (and one shot indoors) with my E-M1.1 and a Pentax 50mm f1.7 lens.

We've been lucky with the weather here this week, managed to get various shots of the moon over the past 4 days in the early evening, with reasonably clear skies for once.
