The new camera is also equipped with the TruePic VIII image processor that is 3.5 times faster than earlier processors from Olympus. The build quality of Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is excellent. Camera users that are familiar with the Olympus brand will feel at home while using the company's latest model.

The OM-D E-M1 Mark II is well-balanced and the controls are configured the same way as other Olympus OM-D cameras that come with the standard Super Control Panel. Users can also use the optional grip of the unit. And the camera has a 440 shots-per-charge CIPA battery life score.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is considered as the flagship model for mirrorless cameras and it's provided with two memory card slots. The top slot can support UHS-II media and the bottom slot handles UHS-I files. In Olympus cameras, the thicker UHS-II slot is a standard requirement when photographers are shooting in high bit rates.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II has amazing upgrades on its image destabilization system and auto-focusing. The Dual Fast AF allows users to swiftly shoot and instantly recompose without any AF hassle.

Even when it comes to sports photography, aficionados can depend on the AF system because the process becomes even faster when the focal point range of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is properly customized. There is hardly any lag time on the camera between finding the proper focus and the half-shutter press when dealing with decent lighting.
