You should be fine with just the UHS-I cards, UHS-II are beneficial for what you stated before with video, burst shooting with buffer clearing, and read speed.

That is like wishing that the D500 was as light as the em10.
Maybe not
Looking at lots of Fujifilm X-T2 reviews MOST of them say that camera is on par or can at least keep up with the D500 in terms of tracking and continues auto focus, which would mean that mirrorless cameras have finally reached a point where they can, maybe not match the flag ship DSLR's but at least keep up good enough for most people, including birds in flight and most other sports.
So my wish is the E-M1 Mk II will at least match the X-T2
They're impressed by it, and after watching the video, it reinforces the idea what I'm making the right choice as well." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
I find these Hongkong people tedious with their puerile approach. And DP Review is worthy but dull. Matthieu Gasquet at Mirrorlessons is the one for me - articulate and very much to the point.

Completely agree with you here. Pretty hard to take Kai seriously but then again, I dont think he takes himself to seriously either. I always enjoy Thom Hogan; I find his reviews to be very "real world". But then maybe thats just from my Nikon days. He doesn't have anything on the MK II yet though.
One additional thing I noticed was the added height and grip seems like it'll fit your entire hand on the grip and won't necessarily need a bottom L-Plate to give your pinky something to hold on to. Id rather have a camera with a deep grip like this than something small like the a6300 where your bottom two fingers are dangling off and need to wrap underneath the body.
Agreed ... except that I will still need an L-plate. It's all good.

And I do think that this is more than just wishful thinking. I am hopeful that the E-M1 II's C-AF will be at least as good as the X-T2 and A6300 ... the 2 APS-C mirrorless cameras competing with the E-M1 II. Anything less and I will be very disappointed.

I can't wait. I'm hopeful that it's shown at Photo Plus in 9 days, I'm headed there for the first time and it'll be nice to get my hands on one if possible.
Good stuff. Thanks, bobbytan! His comments are aimed mainly at sports shooters and birders. "This'll blow your socks off," he says, citing a side-by-side BIF test with an unnamed DSLR ("a big one") that the Oly outperformed. Lots of unanswered questions, such as: Which DSLR? But his enthusiasm for the improved AF, tracking, ISO, EVF, ergonomics, battery life (and percentage readout), new menu options, etc., is genuine and encouraging. "We're there," he says of long-sought parity between mirrorless and DSLR tracking.

Sony doesn't play games, the A6300 is old news. A6500 was introduced in order to supplant any possibility of EM1II buyers thinking they are getting state of the art. More than 3X as many cross focus points, more resolution, much smaller body, better video, etc etc.
Not like the EM1II is bad, but imho it is not allowed to compete with APS-c top of the line, as Sony will introduce artificial barriers to keep Oly 2-3 years behind.
I agree that Sony is likely to stay ahead in terms of sheer performance, as they iterate cameras faster than anyone else. On the other hand, the A6500 has a poor lens selection and much worse usability.
