Not to mention the price might actually be a little too close to the EM1 as it is now. In sweden there is about 50 USD difference (the Em5 is just slightly cheaper).
I just noticed one dealer already has a campagin on it though where you can save 150 USD on it but they also have a campaign on the EM1 where you get the vertical grip included in the price so there really isn't much between them.
Which is the better camera I don't know, it would be interesting to see a real comparison between the EM1 and EM5 II RAW files, some homepages have stated that the RAW files are quite a bit better but I'll wait to judge that till I see some real proof.
It looks like an amazing camera though, to tell you the truth I feel no need for any better image quality then what I have with the EM5 now but I do feel like an upgrade to the camera and the MK II looks great in most ways and it has got the big beautiful viewfinder of the EM1 which is what I am really after the most. I will hold of for the EM1 MK II though I think, unless the prices of the EM5 MK II comes down quite a bit (or the rumored Titanium version is a beautiful in real life as it looks on pictures).
As far as picture quality between the Fujifilm X100s (should be same as the T) and my EM5 there really isn't a whole lot of difference. The Fuji's are cleaner at all ISO's but at high ISO I actually prefer the Olympus files anyway because they look more analog rather then Fuji's digital smeared out look, specially noticeable on skin tones, this is with RAW btw, not JPG. However, I am just starting to process the files through Capture One Pro rather then Lightroom to see if I get any difference there.
You also have to ask your self will the small difference in cleaner images make a difference in print? I haven't tested to print really large from either camera yet (oddly enough) but I have a 100x70cm (39x27 inches) photo from an old Nikon D80 (10mp file from an APS-C sensor 2006) on the wall that looks awesome with very little noise and I am quite confident that both these newer cameras produce far better results then that.
If the quality difference is visible in print, it matters. If it's only visible on the screen at 100% or more magnification, it doesn't matter.
