It was only a matter of time, you might think, before OM System put its latest 20MP stacked sensor in the OM-5. But no! The OM-5 II keeps the same (non-stacked) sensor as the OM-5 and makes do with some tech tidy-ups and a few functional tweaks.

Which Fujifilm camera is best?
With the launch of the Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm has restored one of its most popular camera lines, but how does this new camera fit into the existing Fujifilm camera range, and which one is the best to get now?
The new Sony FX2 aims to bring Sony’s Cinema line to a broader hybrid audience
It looks impressive! The headline specs for the Sony FX2 include a 33MP full frame sensor, 4K video up to 60p, internal 4:2:2 all-intra 10-bit recording, an internal fan for unlimited recording times and a tilting EVF as well as a flip-out vari-angle rear screen. It has the same body design as the older FX3, but is cheaper. Amazing! Well, maybe.
Panasonic S1 II and S1 IIE launched with new Lumix S 24-60mm F2.8 lens
Shortly after launching its new flagship full frame hybrid camera, the Lumix S1R II, Panasonic has launched two new models, this time replacing its original Lumix S1. The Lumix S1 II is the more powerful of these two new models, while the Lumix S1 IIE is a more affordable option.
The new Canon RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is incredibly cheap… for a reason
The Canon RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is a VERY cheap full frame RF mount telephoto which has kind of appeared out of the blue. Its headline feature is surely its price – just £289 in the UK, with US pricing yet to be confirmed. So at that price, there’s got to be a catch, right? Oh yes.
Sony announces the FE 50-150mm f/2 G Master, taking full frame f/2 zooms into new territory
Canon may have started the f/2 full zoom trend with the monster-sized RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM, but it didn’t take Sony too long to hit back with its own Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 G Master lens, and now it’s gone a whole step further with the amazing FE 50-150mm f/2 G Master.
Insta360 X5 is launched: same video specs, tougher build
The Insta360 X4 was a major upgrade to the X3 version before it, bringing 8K 360 capture and boosting the regular video output to 2.7K instead of 1080 (or 2K). The X5 builds on this using the same video tech but with an increase in waterproofing capabilities to 49ft versus the 33ft of the X4.
The Panasonic Lumix S1R II is amazing, so why are people complaining about its readout speed?
Slow sensor readout speed can lead to ‘rolling shutter’ or ‘jello’ effects, which can affect both stills photography and video. But how bad is the Lumix S1R II’s readout speed, has Panasonic really dropped the ball here and will it really affect your results – or is it the Internet just going crazy with yet another thing to start yelling about?
Five things they don’t tell you about image stabilization (which is annoying)
Image stabilization is a great thing to have in a camera. It might even make you choose a camera with in-body-stabilization over one that doesn’t have it, even if the rest of the specs aren’t as good. Nobody likes camera shake, right? But image stabilization, whether its in-camera IBIS or lens IS, isn’t always the life-saver it seems.
