Re: Buying used EM-5 II vs EM-1

Second E-M1 makes better sense, as the physical layout, menus and function will be identical, as will the image files. Since you're presumably shooting wildlife, some in motion the better C-AF and higher frame rates are quite important.

E-M5ii has more effective IBIS and high-res mode. If you're doing landscape with a tripod, hi-res is an attractive feature.

I recommend a dual-sling setup and connecting the cameras at the tripod socket. It's how I shoot sports and keeps the cameras in control and very quick to switch.

Good luck!
