I am considering selling my E-M10 and that occasioned me to start looking at the E-M5 II and the probably later this year M1 replacement.
Since I'd been following the K-1 release and so on it was kinda interesting to compare, although I'm not in the market for the K-1.
For instance, tethering is one of the things I miss on the M10. Not only does the M5 II have it, but it appears the tethering software is free. Tethering isn't available on the comparable (in the lineup) K-3II.
For pixel shift, Oly has released a plugin to make better use of the PS tech in Photoshop. But with Pentax no dice. We're limited to the PDCU software, which is much worse than the Oly Viewer software.
C'mon Pentax; catch up.
I also thought it interesting Oly sells a "Pro" package with the M5 II, and a few of its top line lenses for $4k, a significant discount. I can't afford that but I've always been surprised more manufacturers don't do that. It almost tempted me to buy it and then sell a lens or two and maybe make a bit of a profit, although it doesn't seem to be THAT good a deal.
Anyone here got any input on whether the M5 II is a decent upgrade from the M10? I could really use the weatherproofing and tethering. But I wonder if I should wait for the new M1, although I don't think I can.
