The E-M10 Mark II has been upgraded in a similar way to the E-M5 Mark II, getting full 5-axis sensor stabilization (with any lens, even with adapters), which has some pretty incredible abilities as far as keeping your shots steady. This is similar to the technology Sony is using with the a7RII. The E-M10 Mark II is also getting 1080p 60fps — and of course the very important 24p, and higher bitrates internally. Olympus has been very focused on the photo quality of their cameras, though now they're finally starting to see the potential with video. It's a welcome change, especially since the design harkens back to a time when cameras were built to last.
Here's an overview of the camera:
