The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II ($1,099.99, body only) is the long-awaited follow-up to one of our favorite mirrorless cameras, the E-M5 ($499.00 at Amazon) . The Mark II builds on its predecessor's features, adding Wi-Fi, improving image stabilization, and adding an innovative high-resolution image capture mode. It's a fine camera, but its price is not far off from our Editors' Choice Samsung NX1 ( at Amazon) , which doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles, but has 4K video, a more advanced autofocus system, and 15fps burst shooting capability.

Finally, Olympus has sprinkled it with the fairy dust that made the original OM cameras so desirable and which it has obviously rediscovered for the OM-D era. It's that indefinable ‘something' which creates a camera you just can't resist picking up and using.
