. Sorry, but you should actually read a review before posting it.

Why should I HAVE to red it in order to post it? There are many "reviews: posted that I value less than a penny.

There are many small and/or lightweight lens options e.g. the Zeiss Batis, Zony, and some Voigtlander lenses. Heck, the Batis 85/1.8 lens is lighter and cheaper than my Pan-Leica Nocticron.

I had an a7r2 and a few lenses until recently. People seem to forget that the lenses are the same size as any other FF equivalent. Add on to that the extra cost of getting a lens that can do that sensor justice, and it doesn't look so great pretty quickly. With the exception of their new premium lens line up, most of their lenses, at least in the ranges I wanted, leave a lot to be desired. For a lot less money and size you can get a great Olympus system with stellar lenses. Toss in sensor shift

Bobby, the Pany is an f1.2.

f1.2 has the same DOF as f1.8 or f2.0 in FF equivalence.

I wasn't talking about DOF. I was justifying the price and size. 1.2 is always 1.2

How much is the Nikon 85mm 1.2 or the Canon 85mm 1.2? And what do they weigh?

No, it's actually f2.4.

Yup, and focal length doesn't change either.
What changes is equivalent DOF and FOV.

Duh. Maybe if you red a review before posting, you would know what it was about.

Yes, but if you start picking up an armload of primes, the weight adds up pretty quickly in comparison to an m43 kit. My point is that a m43 kit can be far lighter than any FF equivalent kit. You give up some IQ, but depending upon your needs, it may not matter.

This is the weirdest post I think I have ever read. What the heck do you mean? I read the verdict initially. This review was about the NEW em-1 Mark II. What else would this review be about? This review sounded pretty much like all the other ones who were sent to Iceland. Although this review made the sensor's performance sound much better than the other reviews.

You are a weird dude! Seriously.

Weird.

Excerpt from Steve Huff's review of the Fuji XT2 posted yesterday:

http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/tag/olympus/

I loved the Olympus EM 1 MKII and can not wait to get one back in my hands (still no review unit) as it was speedy, responsive, built like a mini tank and never gave me an OOF shot or issue. The lenses are smaller than APS-X and full frame equivalents and it’s a top quality camera all the way around.

First of all, I was being sarcastic when I asked if I should remove the post/link. Second, I read the verdict. The rest was nearly what everyone else wrote. How many times do you need to read about what is new and the specs?

First of all, how is anyone supposed to know if you are being sarcastic, or just spastic? You didn't use a spastic emoticon.

Second,if you thought the review was so lame and the same as what everyone else wrote, why bore everyone reading this thread by posting it?

Your babble has no logic.

Bye.

Even though this video is a bit amateur hour in itself, the takeaway I got from this is that this camera is a mess....did you see it trying to track an object against a blue sky?? That should be the easiest tracking situation there is....the thing just constantly loses the subject....

My apologies in advance for subjecting you to this video....without Kai this channel is next to useless....still another review to add to the masses...

Yeah, that was not exactly confidence inspiring.
