We are heading for another barrage: the Sony A9. One article after another, Gods gift to the photographic world it seems. Sure I understand it is interesting and exciting, I share this and enjoy what Sony has done. But now here we go...keeping the attention as long as possible just as with A7RII...And Fuji GFX 50S...well...where they could they were trying to deter you there is not other around it.

Where is EM1.2 HiRes RAW shots? Where are the HiRes shots in bulb mode. Where is the comparison between HiRes and D810. Pentax 645Z and Sony A7RII? Not there. Well I can tell you that it would not look good for any of these cams with the possible exception of the 645Z. Then they use a 45 mm f1.8 on a flagship Em1.2 mFT cam...Right.

As has been already pointed out at the aperture they use for their test shots the difference between the 42.5mm F/1.2 and the 45mm F/1.8 are insignificant , why they choose that aperture is a different question .

Hires is not a photo it is an 8 photo composite so why would they compare an 8 shot merge from one camera with a single shot from another ? The hires mode while capable of great results in its niche is very limited in its utility, just as taking multi shot images with other cameras are limited in their utility .

Too coincidental for my liking. No I have no proof, but the list is endless and surely doesn't stop with the above. Sony A6300 overheating...Not a word, not a word on the review only when compared two lines on this serious problem..Etcetc. Yuck.

I actually think given the cost of the E-M1II it was given an easy ride by DPreview considering the rather extensive list of cons and their conclusion "Not so good for Those expecting image quality in-line with comparably priced cameras" does not shout gold award to me
