E-M1 vs. A7II Thoughts

Thanks for taking the time to type all this. Not that I am interested in Sony, at least not for now, but I am considering on buying an Oly again. OK, I was not considering this camera but the E-M5 II so it isn't really the same, but my worries are the image sensor and the IBIS noise. The sensor is the same in both cameras and I think the IBIS is also the same, maybe with some improvements in the way it is handled in the E-M5 II. Never the less, what puts me off is the DR and ISO noise, even at ISO200. I can't understand how Oly still not managed to improve that, and I am actually not comparing with my D800, but with the age old Nikon V1. Your point about the aspect ratio is something I almost forgot about. OK, the image can be cropped to 3:2 but that costs quite some pixels, so it is indeed a negative point.

In other words, the more I look at the camera or read about similar cameras the more certain I am about waiting some more... at least until Photokina.

Em1 has a Panny sensor, em5II has a Sony one. The former has the old 5-axis IBIS, the latter has the newer one that is pne stop better and can make the micro adjustments for hires shots.

Was just going to point out the same things myself - definitely a different sensor in the E-M5 II compared with the E-M1, which is often said to be the noisiest of the current generation (in long exposures, anyway).  And the newer IBIS in the E-M5 II, too.
