Olympus OM-D E-M10 II review

Olympus' E-M10 II is the perfect starter camera for going mirrorless, or a worthwhile upgrade.

Quality 16MP stills with pleasing colors ; Compact, lightweight ; Very responsive ; Built-in 5-axis image stabilization

Noisy shutter mechanism ; No 4K video

We can easily recommend the E-M10 II for those looking to make the move to an affordable ILC or those with older cameras looking to upgrade. For only $50 more, spring for the kit lens version if this is your first Olympus ILC. It may not have every...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II

The OM-D E-M10 Mark II is another solid mirrorless camera from Olympus thanks to 5-axis stabilization and a great EVF, but it's missing 4K video.

Compact, but comfortable to use. Large, sharp EVF. Tilting touch-screen display. 8.6fps continuous shooting. Built-in flash. 5-axis stabilization system. Wi-Fi.

Accurate tracking requires slower burst rate. Wacky power switch. No mic input.

Conclusions The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is another solid entry in the OM-D line, and a fine choice for Micro Four Thirds devotees and others searching for a mirrorless camera. Its strengths include a large, sharp EVF, an excellent Wi-Fi...

Olympus E-M10 Mark II review: Small and powerful, this may deter you from a dSLR

Olympus' entry-level interchangeable-lens camera hits the bullseye in many aspects for the enthusiast photographers it targets.

The OM-D E-M10 Mark II offers some unique but useful features in a smaller-than-a-dSLR design.

The grip could be bigger and its continuous shooting can't keep up with the competition. Plus, you really need to read the manual unless you're running on full auto.

Attractive and compact, with a broad feature set, solid kids-and-vacation performance and nice photos, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is a good choice for photographers on a budget who like to fiddle.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II (Body only, Black)

The camera's currently priced at $750 (£650, AU$1,000) for the kit with the 14-42mm power zoom lens, though I expect that to drop as it gets a little older. At this price, it's on the expensive side relative to competitors.

Olympus E-M10 II Review

Sporting an incredible amount of features in a professional-grade body with excellent image quality for its class, the Olympus E-M10 II is the best "all-around" entry-level camera we've yet reviewed.

Excellent value for the money; Professional-grade ergonomics; Incredibly good image quality for its class; Solid performance specs across the board; Loaded with features

Kit lens may not be quite as sharp as previous kit lens from this line; Below average battery life; Somewhat confusing menu systems
