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.

I have no idea why you quoted me twice. Fanboi? No I am not. I also own Fuji and had Panasonic for quite a while as well. I just learned how to use my gear. I will know not to engage in any of your subsequent posts. You seem hard to please.

Sorry for that. Maybe I was too rude. This really was not my intention. I'm just tired of people who are not objective (and this is not only in photography). It's not addressed to you but generaly.

Regards
