  • Capteur 16 Mpix un peu vieillissant,  Pas de 4K
  • Visuellement similaire à l'OM-D E-M5 premier du nom, l'OM-D E-M5 Mark II embarque une quantité d'améliorations vraiment impressionnantes. Si certains détails agacent – ergonomie parfois étrange, absence de prise casque, rafale bridée – la liste de ses qua...
