![]() ![]() sharpening - this has multiple state of the art sharpening algorithms at your disposal that rival or exceed other leading raw converters (C1, DXO, LR. Kind of cool being able to use the Fuji Film Simulators on an Olympus.Absolutely 5 Stars app - ID does some unique things that help image quality that you will not find elsewhere. So in these photos I was able to process all of them with Classic Chrome. The cool thing I discovered is that Iridient has all the Fuji Camera profiles that also work with any other camera you use. Olympus E-M5 II With Iridient Developer 3īecause it took forever for Adobe to release an update to Lightroom that included Olympus E-M5 II Raw decoding capabilities, I ended up using Iridient Developer 3. If the E-M1 II does all that and is released soon, it could be a game changer. I want it to have better video quality, preferably 4k with a 5-axis on sensor image stabilizer. It will be a lot more money, but I think if I’m going to make a jump into the M4/3. ![]() It’s such a great deal, for the price you pay and the image quality you get, you really can’t complain. If I didn’t have so many cameras laying around I would buy this for sort of my jack of all trades camera.īut ultimately, the real reason I didn’t buy it was because I’m waiting for the Olympus E-M1 II. But that’s totally understandable and forgivable.Īlthough I don’t own this camera and didn’t get to spend a whole ton of time with it, I really like it. The image just has a little bit more chatter in it than the Sony A7r or the Fuji X-T1 and Lots of moiré. In these diffraction tests you can kind of see what I’m talking about with the camera being micro 4/3. F8 is still beyond the limit but still looks good. Here is what High Res mode and Diffraction look like. Which seems to be the High Res f-stop limit. I’m not sure entirely how it works, I mean, I know the sensor moves around slightly to shoot several photos that it stitches together, but it must do something different with the diffraction because the image actually holds up a litter nicer at F8. I didn’t play around too much with the High Res mode but it totally works. So you’re kind of stuck shooting between f2.8 and f5.6. Anything above f8 you can pretty much throw away unless you don’t mind less overall resolution. Kind of defeats the point of it being a small camera when there is this giant LCD wing hanging off the side of it and is completely pointless for anything other then flipping the screen around to take pictures of yourself.īecause the camera has an intense pixel pitch (they’re cramming 16 megapixels onto a micro 4/3 sensor), the camera really ends up performing very poor at higher apertures. While screens that folds up are fine (like in the Sony A7, and Fuji X-T1), I don’t really like having to flip the whole thing out to change my viewing angle. One other little thing I didn’t like is the full articulating screens. ![]() But still, it’s good enough for almost anything really. Where as the difference between Full Frame and APS-C is really hard to see, you can see it when going down to Micro 4/3 and it’s usually most apparent with low light. ![]() The only downside of this camera is the image quality. With those two features together, it makes such a fun camera to walk around with.īecause of the size, the camera is so incognito, it doesn’t really intimidate anyone like a Canon or Nikon would, and the image stabilizer ensures that your shots are almost always going to be free from motion blur do to camera shake. The two big things that are winners for me are the size of the camera and the auto image stabilizer. I didn’t really have the camera long enough to do a full review but I can give some of my impressions. I ended up just renting it for a few day to do all my usual camera tests like the E-M5 II memory card speed test and the diffraction tests which you’ll see here. So instead of adding to my pile of test cameras, I exercised a little bit of self control. I’ve had it in my Amazon checkout cart ready to go at least three times now. The Olympus E-M5 II has been one of those cameras that’s been a struggle for me not to buy. ![]()
