Re: E-M1 II with 12-100 and PL25/1.4 or 12-40 and 25/1.2
I have the EM 1.2, the 12-100mm and three primes: PL 25mm, Oly 45mm and Oly 75mm. In my testing I found the 25mm and the 75mm to be sharper than the zoom @ f4 & f5.6. The zoom @ f4 was about the same or a little better than the primes wide open. The 45mm was not as sharp as the zoom, but clearly not bad either. I think the bottom line is all of these lenses are very good to excellent. For low light action you want a fast lens. But a zoom is far better for action that is near then far then near. Put a fast 25mm on your camera and you may find yourself doing a lot of cropping. Above all the EM 1.2 is great keeping any of these lenses targeting on what you want. BTW, the combination body and lens IS is great but useless for action.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
