Seems to be same sensor, EVF and I would bet the very same (or almost) IQ
but better engineering. Still only one fast SD card slot and one UHS I---lazy.
It has inherited some nice features from its larger and (IMO) flakey big
brother.
I like the dedicated ISO button as using SCP for ISO is useable but not very
intuitive and slowish.
Things I like:
Built in "ND filter" with probable raw file--this is very similar to the Smooth
Reflections app that Sonnie KILLED in latest models--grrrrrr. I really liked
that app.
If is like E-M1x likely goes to 5 stops--that is almost certainly equivalent
to a 32 shot me mean blend in Photoshop--but get a raw file. SR app went up to
256 shots which is 8 stops.
Not sure how they pull that off hand held but perhaps use e-shutter (guessing)
and the wonderful IS---(up to claimed 7.5 stops with sync IS and 7 stops
otherwise--doubt this would beat Panny Dual IS, but hard to tell). Oddly the
SR app would lose a tad of DR vs taking the shots or using ND filter directly.
Try blending 256 shots in PS---takes a loooooooong while.

Hand held high res mode is cool and expected.
Starry sky AF---can take 10sec on pod in accurate mode but that is fine.
Marnie enjoyed trying for nice astrolandscapes but I had to focus for her in MF
due to her night vision. The CV10/.95 MTF wide open was also lousy and would
have to gaffers tape at infinity if wanted to use. This is a killer feature
for her then, assuming it works as advertised. Bah, please make me an offer
on gently used E-m1 MkII. At least I think the batteries are the same. Not
sure about the RRS bracket. Will have to try to make time to take care of this
Change is acoming to stable, Mike
