I totally agree with you that it won't be a 2x increase as I expected, but still it looks better than a 16MP capture. I wish I can see more Hi-Res samples of the E-M5 Mk II online that I can evaluate, but there are few and far in between. The ones I see for the E-M1 Mk II are quite acceptable compromise (with artifacts with subject movements) for printing. Am I too optimistic in expecting that the E-M5 II will have artifacts much less worse than the E-M1 Mk II?

Thank you!

I'd shoot one for you, but my EM5 is in for service.

I find that I don't use HiRes much, because I shoot landscapes while hiking and I don't carry a tripod. What I do a lot of, though, is stitching of bracketed images. That works well, because you can shoot handheld, and it gets you up to pretty big prints (as long as you don't mind a pano format, or complicated stitching). I generally use LR's photomerge to first stack the brackets to HDR, then assemble.
