Hi Wim, Are you the same Wim from ~15 years ago? I used to post here a lot back in the early 2K's.

 

The one thing I'm pretty floored about with all the new cameras is the high ISO performance. How does the Oly compare to the other mirrorless I'm looking at? I don't expect it to be better, but can you get usable results up to 1600?

Hi Mike,

 

Here you can see a comparison at ISO 1600 between:

• Olympus E-M5 II (same 16MP sensor found in almost all other current 16MP MFT cameras)
  
• Canon EOS M5
  
• Sony Alpha 6300
  
• Fuji X-T20
  

As you can see the difference is rather slight and will very likely be insignificant for most uses.

 

I own a Fuji X-T1 as well as tiny Panasonic GM5.

You can find many examples of both in my flickr stream here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thxbb12/

I've printed large posters (90 cm x 70 cm) of my MFT shots and I'm very happy with the IQ. At normal viewing distance it's easily good enough (who looks at a poster with their nose touching the paper?).
