    Absolutely correct. The Mark II era was the high water mark for Olympus.

    Hi Rob , Happy Christmas to you and Jerry, so good to see her looking in good shape.
    I’ve had an EM10 mkii since 2019 and it’s a very good camera especially with the tilt screen. (It replaced a Lumix GX80). My first EM5 mkiii I bought in 2021 and frankly the “plastic” body has never bothered me it feels good on the hand. I found an EM5 mkii going at an amazing low price in a local store and bought it earlier this year. It is certainly a great camera and a good upgrade from the EM10 range.
    Recently I sold my EM5 mkiii and for only £100 more managed to replace it with an OM5 with a low shutter count. Couldn’t be happier, still playing with the features. I think I have finished with my buying/selling cameras for the foreseeable future.
    All the best to you and Jerry for 2025.

    Merry Christmas to you and Jerry!
    I couldn't agree more Roberto, those Mark 2 upgrades covered almost everything that you would realistically need. Superb cameras and I am certainly in no rush to replace my EM10 just yet. I would point out that I had to buy my (used) EM5 mark 2 you lucky sod. But that was such a nice gesture.
    The OM5 mark 2 is rumoured to have a 25 megapixel sensor. Save your pennies.

    Agree that that the mark II Olympus camera’s are top notch. I could not care less about megapixels. Get close to your subject so you don’t need to crop (much). I wish they had an EM 5 type with a flip up screen, like my Lumix GX9

    The zfc doesn’t feel anything remotely like the em5 mark3 or om5. I have both those cameras and the cheap feeling kept me from getting the zfc. To be honest I didn’t think they were plastic when I first got the em5 mark 3. But I’m glad the zfc felt cheap I ended up getting the zf instead.

      I see. I had a go of the zfc but no store near me has the em 3 versions. Actually it's hard to find any older Olympus cameras on sale in stores these days. Prob buy the OM1ii it I ever get heavy into birding
