My Em5II is dead on accurate

Oh well then you must be a very lucky guy

It seems to be very unlikely that I would get 2 defective cameras (E-M5II, E-M10II) from 2 tries ...

My previously owned E-M5II was suffering from that back focusing tendency as well. But yes it was not as bad as my E-M10II.

All these guys that are happy. I like that you like your cameras but I have seen similar reactions before and I see it as a brand cult or I don't know what.

I do not care if I shoot Olympus, Panasonic or whatever. I need a camera that I like shooting and that serves me well without any or almost any issues.

That thing I'm talking about is E-P5's (by the way E-M1 was suffering from it as well) failing wheels and many other design flaws (shutter shock) this camera has or had.

I needed just 1 day to check that shutter shock produced by E-P5 was making it almost an useless camera (before firmware update with 0s delay was released). Any photo made within 1/100 - 1/300s was a blured garbage. But again there were hundreds of guys on this forum that were saying we do not see any shutter shock so it does not exist. I owned 2 E-P5 cameras how I could be so unfortunate and get 2 faulty units (second one was bought 10 months after my first one).

All these and other similar reactions smell like a fanboyism or I do not know how to explain it ... and yes I hate fanboyism.

Anyways thank you for all your comments I have to investigate it a bit more.

Next week I'm going for a used GX80 + PanaLeica 15mm 1.7 lens (I got a good deal). Then I will compare my 4 actual m43 cameras (E-PL2 + E-M10II + GX80 + E-PL5) for an AF accuracy.

Then I will let you know how they performed.
