By touchy, I mean overly sensitive. It was very apparent to me and not
something I liked. I suppose , one can get accustomed to it but my OM-2 or
even 4T are much better in that one aspect. I then went to look at early
reviews and at least one mentioned it, so perhaps not a pre-production issue as
clamed by the Oly rep.
Jeff Keller on DPrev (not our esteemed listee) mentioned in the review:
"Something that affected my shooting quite a bit was the Mark II's overly
sensitive shutter release button. This resulted in many unwanted photos and, in
one case, my memory card became filled with 2000+ shots while using in the Pro
Capture mode, because I was unknowingly shooting the entire time I was waiting
for a geyser to erupt."

Robin Wong in his review (an Oly guy) thought it was OK, but still felt weird
to me.
"The camera did not feel that much larger than the E-M1 (2013), yet the
ergonomics improved a lot. The buttons on the camera back are much larger now,
and the "overly-sensitive" shutter button issue is now gone. The camera with
especially the 12-100mm F4 PRO lens felt just right on hands, and I do not wish
for any more improvements in this area."
So it is good to hear you have no issue with the shutter or have adjusted to
it.
I think the e-shutter mode can clear the sensor data in 1/60 as best I
remember so rolling shutter issues won't be marked but still an issue in some
situations of course. Last I read the A9 can clear the FF sensor in 1/160 but
that has not been verified. Just the EFCS (with MSCS) can lead to some uneven
exposures at fast SS and wide apertures--esp with non system lenses and can
lead to harsher bokeh effects. I posted some links on this in the past. I
don't know if the E-M1 Mk 11 limits EFCS to certain SS--I think other Oly cams
have done this.
I do think the speedbooster is very well done and even adjusts for the thicker
sensor stack. It is still only 0.71X and does not restore the full AOV for the
OMZ lenses.
Another curious event was the 12-100 was really lousy at sun stars even if jaw
dropping good IS with sync IS. Perhaps it is the curved aperture blades. It
has an odd number which is favorable for sun stars but not enough for that lens
for whatever reason. There is rarely anything near perfection it seems.
Touchy about some ergonomics, Mike
