DON’T buy a camera just because of its specs. You must physically hold it first!

I’m currently in the process of reviewing the mighty OM System M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 PRO ‘Big White’, a monster lens with a monster reach, but as a day-to-day Nikon user, something really shocked me when I got to take the OM System OM-1 Mark II for an extended spin. Boy oh boy is it one comfortable camera!

The shutter button is on an incline, which is oh so ergonomic for your forefinger, which marries beautifully with a nice, deep grip. And the small (for a flagship) Micro Four Thirds camera just fits beautifully in the hand. Other highlights include a strategically positioned ISO button where your right thumb naturally rests, and on the opposite side, positioned on the top plate, is a button for changing the AF mode. Its positioning is genius, because your left thumb can easily access it without having to remove the camera from a shooting position.
