Re: E-M1 vs. A7II Thoughts
  • I hated how when reviewing an image and placing your eye to the EVF the camera exits playback mode. Perhaps there is a setting I missed for this.

On this, I certainly agree. When I went from Nikon to EM1, I couldn't understand why the EM1 was set up that way. And the reverse is true-when previewing an image in the EVF, when you move your eye away, it should display the image on the screen for the remainder of the preview period but instead switches to live view. There should be an option to do it this way.

That said, I think the point of M4/3 is size and weight-not just the camera body but the body and lens together. A FF is almost always going to produce "better" images, all things being equal. As you suggest, perhaps the new EM1 will close the gap  bit.
