The camera has 121 cross-type AF on-sensor phase detection points. It also has a new algorithm that should be better at tracking. The flagship MFT camera can also shoot 4K video, including the wider aspect ratio ‘DCI’ Cinema 4K at up to 236mbps. It supports Dual UHS-II SD slots and higher capacity battery with faster charging.
The US price of Olympus E-M1 Mark II were expected to be around $1,599 which would be the same price as Fujifilm X-T2 camera. This also makes its range a little bit higher than the current Olympus E-M1. But indeed the price is now as rumored before and stands at $1,999.
As a side note this is $600 higher than the price of the first E-M1 camera. It was introduced three years ago with a $1400 body-only startup price.
