Leica CL

Leica has long been known for their stylish premium cameras and lenses. Their newest APS-C interchangeable lens camera, the Leica CL (not to be confused with the 35mm CL rangefinder from the 1970s), keeps in that tradition. Whereas the Leica TL2, which shares the same 24-megapixel image sensor, employs a thoroughly modern design, the new CL harkens back to a more classic camera design, complete with a built-in viewfinder and more physical controls than the sleek TL2.

Let's take a closer look at the new Leica CL and dig into its design, specifications and features.

The CL has a very classic Leica design. The camera, complete with the trademark Leica red dot, is quite compact for an interchangeable lens camera. Speaking of the lenses, the Leica CL has a Leica L-mount bayonet, although it can be used with adapted Leica M/R lenses in addition to the native Leica TL and SL lenses. The camera has dimensions of just over 5 inches wide (131 millimeters), 3 inches high (78 millimeters) and is under 2 inches (45 millimeters) in depth. It weighs 14.2 ounces (403 grams) with the battery installed.


Olympus EM1 II

Packed with a new 20MP sensor, revamped AF system, faster image processor (two, in fact), 4K video and more, the E-M1 Mark II addresses the performance and C-AF shortcomings of the original E-M1 and pushes the envelope even further to truly provide professional photographers and multimedia producers with a capable, high-performance DSLR alternative. Excellent image quality, top-notch performance and all-around fantastic build quality and features makes the E-M1 II worthy of consideration for those upgrading from the E-M1 or moving from another mirrorless camera or a DSLR.

Pros

Excellent image quality; Very good dynamic range & high ISO performance; Fantastic C-AF performance; Incredible burst rates, even with RAW; 4K UHD & Cinema 4K (DCI) video; Clean HDMI; Dual SD card slots.

Cons

Expensive; Menus still confusing; UHS-II support only on one card slot; No optical low-pass filter means greater risk of moire; No built-in flash.

At the heart of the OM-D E-M1 Mark II is a new 20.4-megapixel Live MOS 4/3" sensor which is equipped with 121 on-chip phase detection points, all of which are cross type. Working with the newly-developed TruePic VIII image processor -- which is stated to be 3.5 times faster than previous TruePic processors -- the E-M1 Mark II can record full-resolution images at up to a whopping 60 frames-per-second with both AF and AE locked and up to 18fps with continuous AF and AE when using the camera's all-electronic shutter mode.
