Thoughts on the OM-D E-M5 Mark II or the upcoming Panasonic's?

Going back to the original post I was on a workshop and we had Olympus OMD-EM5. EM10, EM1 Panasonic GX7 and GH4 this was not a macro trip and looking at the resulting pictures there was little to no difference in the IQ of the 4 cameras over a set of lenses. In general seems like all 16 megapixels sensors are pretty much the same and the only difference with the new models are features. For what concerns focus I have no issues of any sort with mid range zoom to fisheye however haven't tried the 60mm yet. Worst case there is a manual focus gear if it gets really hard to focus that is more affordable than buying a new camera and housing for a marginal autofocus improvement?

Some focus issues i had encountered where either in silky water that the camera would focus on particles, or that it wouldn't "consider" a very thin subject, such as a pipefish. This actually occured last week to me: trying to shoot a thin pipefish with the 60mm macro: i put the focus point on the pipefish's head (meaning that small square right on the head), and it took me 4-5 attemps before getti g focus right. This was in bright light (shallow), i believe the issue was my focusing "square" was larger than the fish itself!
