Any other similar experience and comment? Thank you

I sold my 7DII once I realized my E-M1II could do just as good a job shooting soccer, which I do a lot of. I actually like the photos out of my Olympus better than I ever did out of the Canon. I shoot with the Olympus 40-150 f/2.8.

This is my personal experience only and not suggesting all 7DII owners ditch theirs for the Olympus. I do obviously struggle with games at night, but also have a 6D plus an EF 70-200 if I really want to shoot any games at night. Granted, the autofocus of the 6D is nowhere near the Olympus, so I have to be selected

YMMV.

That was a goal for me when I bought the M1ii, but just haven’t got to the point where I can give up my 7Dii yet... partly because of the reach of the 100-400ii.

Can I ask how you’ve set up your M1ii for soccer... AF points, AF sensitivity and so on.

Thanks!
