Ladies and Gentlemen, the long awaited GH5 vs EM1ii Epic Shootout! One of the most closely and evenly matched Epic Shootouts I've ever done. Learned so many interesting things about both cameras.

GH5 has an advantage for video, Em1ii has advantages in stills, but they both have their strengths and weaknesses in surprising areas. In all honesty, I do not think the OMD EM1ii is getting the attention it deserves- it is an awesome camera!
