Olympus om d e m1 mark ii vs olympus pen e pl8?

The E-M1 Mark II is the one I'd pick if you shoot fast or moving subjects, or want a body that can handle bad weather. It's a weather-sealed pro camera with fast autofocus and bursts, and its 20.4-megapixel sensor gives you more room to crop than the PEN E-PL8's 16.1 megapixels. Both use the same Micro Four Thirds sensor and have in-body stabilisation, so they take the same lenses.

The E-PL8 is the simpler, more casual choice for everyday shooting. Good lenses for either body:

• Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO for a versatile everyday zoom
• Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 for a small, low-light prime
• Panasonic Leica DG 12-35mm f/2.8 for a bright zoom
