It's an underwhelming upgrade, but the OM System OM-5 II beats Fujifilm, Canon, and Sony in one big way

OM System OM-5 II camera held vertically in photographer's hands.

I had an averse reaction to the new OM-5 II when it was announced a week ago, saying that my hopes for the Micro Four Thirds system are waning after what felt like another disappointing upgrade.

With three years between the OM-5 II and its predecessor – the admittedly still-excellent OM-5 – you'd have hoped for more meaningful updates than USB-C charging. Granted, that's a big feature for one of the best travel cameras, but it should've been in the OM-5 from the get-go, and it's the only upgrade worth writing about.
