Olympus has just raised the ante in the mirrorless camera market by unveiling the OM-D E-M1 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. While it remains reliable in capturing quality stills and videos, the company has one-upped the competition with speed. As the fastest mirrorless camera in the market, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II boasts of a 60fps Electronic Sequential Shooting and 15 fps Mechanical Sequential Shooting . This ensures that no movement will escape the camera which makes it an ideal choice for stop-motion snips.

However, the speed boasts do not end there. The camera has a high-speed viewfinder that can frame shots for as fast as 120 fps and with a lag time of 0.006 seconds. You can also capture every image without the blur with the help of its 1/8000s High Speed Mechanical Shutter. Photographers will enjoy the E-M1 Mark II’s unmatched Autofocus starting with the 121-Point Dual Fast AF. To make AF easier, you can activate the AF Home Settings to pre-set the position of frequently used AF conditions. There’s also the C-AF Tracking Sensitivity which has five tracking levels for you to choose from.

But beyond its speed parameters, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II packs a powerful punch. The combination of the 20.4 MP Live MOS Sensor and the TruePic VIII Image Processor provides quality images. For higher resolution images, there’s the 50M High Res Shot option that makes use of half-pixel increments while capturing eight shots to generate at shot from a 50 MP equivalent. You can also keep those memories on video in 4K quality. Camera shake won’t cause the pictures to blur with its 5-axis Image Stabilisation. To review the shots or adjust camera settings, you can access the three-inch touchscreen LCD monitor.
