I have this camera and I haven't encountered any issues so far. This camera is doing everything Olympus claims it is supposed to do.

We t from a Canon aps-c kit, body and 4 ex lenses to e-m1 ii. Body is not much smaller than my 60d but the lenses are tiny. Great weight and size savings. Lenses are super sharp. Get PRO lenses if you can. Also can use 4/3 lenses with an adapter. I use a 50-200 swd 2.8-3.5 for my telephoto (100-400 equivalent). This means I have an equivalent of 400mm and f3.5 in a size not much larger than a full frame 70-300 lens.

Excellent camera from what I know. If you are going to use it for action and wildlife test it first. The AF of a dSLR is far better.

I have the 5 Mark II and adore it. I’ve tried the 1 Mark II and it’s even better, but wasn’t available when I bought my camera.

Highly recommend... I have a full complement of Nikon, 750, 800, Z6, , D300S, D70S (IR) and lenses. I have almost completely switched to Micro four thirds with the Olympus em1 II as the primary shooter. I also have numerous Panasonic m43 bodies, GX9, G85, M5 etc. All of my Nikon lenses work fine in MF with an adapter on M43 bodies. Olympus and Panasonic M43 lenses all work on both and there are many lenses available including a few third party lenses. The Olympus EM1 II is great even for BIF, lenses are very high quality, especially the Olympus PRO line. I added a RRS base to the Oly body to give another quarter inch to the grip for a home for my little finger. I am not planning to add the larger EM1X body to my arsenal since it does not add much more capability to the EM1 II other than some processing power. Lots of dust forming on my lovely Nikon stuff.

My Sony A7iii and Sony A6300 both will focus faster than the EM1ii. But with most subjects, the EM1ii is certainly fast enough. And it is faster than the EM5ii.

No ants or any other bugs noted. I have the Mk 1 and love it.

What adapter do you have to put your Nikon lenses on your E-M1 II? I have a Nikon D750 and some lenses I want to keep.

I just bought one last month with the 14-150 lens. I enjoy the camera very much, still learning all the bells and whistles.

It's my most-grabbed body. I have both larger (Lumix G9) and smaller (Lumix GX85 and EM1.1) but the EM1.2 is the one I usually pick. I was initially intimidated by the breadth of the Olympus menus, but have gotten used to them.
I do like the physical switches on the G9 that let me select manual or auto focus instantly, and the front one I programmed to do mechanical/electronic shutter selection. But I've used the Olympus long enough that the dedicated buttons which call up the focus and shutter menus have become quick enough to use. And the Olympus is enough smaller that I can get 2 bodies and 6 lenses in a small camera case, where the G9 is just enough bigger that I can't. (I came from 30+ years of full frame Nikon, and having equipment this small and light was a HUGE part of making the move.)

For my EM1.2, I use the lever switch to switch between AF and BBF (Back Button Focus). When in the BBF position, I can do manual focus. Took some effort to figure out the settings for this.
I also use the button closest to the shutter to activate the focus magnifier.
