Olympus OM-D E-M10 review

The E-M10 is a solid Micro Four Thirds camera that sits at the bottom of Olympus' higher end OM-D line; the line includes more advanced features, like an electronic viewfinder and tilting display, than the more compact PEN cameras. It's both designed...

The Olympus OM-D E-M10's design and interface works well for both beginning and advanced photographers, it has a well-rounded feature set, and it's fast enough for general-purpose kids-and-pets photography.

It produces good-but-not-great photos and videos.

Though it doesn't deliver the best photo quality, the sum of the Olympus OM-D E-M10's design, performance and features add up to a nice upgrade from a point-and-shoot.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is the third camera in the company's OM-D range and represents another tier in the lineup - sitting below the E-M5 and the even more expensive E-M1. It uses the same 16 megapixel Four Thirds sensor as the E-M5, though doesn't...

E-M5 image quality in smaller, lighter body Built-in dual-axis level gauge In-body IS works with all lenses Dual control wheels and customizable buttons Wi-Fi connectivity and remote shooting Tilting LCD useful for video and tripod work Raw files offer...

Default JPEG processing tends to muddy fine detail at ISO 3200 and above Useful interface features hidden at default Video quality is mediocre as details are somewhat soft Can't combine histogram, highlight/shadow warnings etc. on the same display mode...

The E-M10 very much feels more like a third generation OM-D model than a step-down from its two brothers. It borrows many qualities we liked from both of them and presents them in a slightly smaller, lighter package. The buttons are easier to press...

Olympus OM-D E-M10

The entry-level mirrorless OM-D E-M10 is another winner in Olympus' OM-D series. Its image quality, speedy performance, and built-in EVF earn it Editors' Choice honors.

Fast focus and burst shooting. Good image quality at high ISO. In-body image stabilization. Tilting touch-screen display. Built-in EVF and flash. Integrated Wi-Fi.

Not weather-sealed. Lacks accessory port and mic input. No 60p video support.

Olympus OM-D E-M10

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is a portable and compact ILC with great performance and image quality. Loaded with useful features and coming in at $700 for the basic kit, this is a fantastic entry-level ILC or travel camera. Read more in our Full Conclusion.

iAuto looked almost unrealistic with over saturated colors ; Built-in flash is very weak

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is the third model in Olympus's OM-D series of compact system cameras. The mid-range, all-metal E-M10 has a 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor with on-sensor phase-detection auto focus (81-point), Supersonic Wave Filter...

The new Olympus OM-D E-M10 combines the proven retro design and customisability of the E-M5 with some of the cutting edge features of the flagship E-M1 at a new mid-range price-point. It doesn't have the same clever 5-axis image stabilisation system or...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mirrorless Camera Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 offers a lot of compelling features, especially considering the $699 (body only) price. It has a bright and clear tilting touch screen, effective image stabilization, and plenty of shooting modes and controls. What it doesn't...

Small compact design handles well ; Detailed images with true-to-life color ; Built-in Wi-Fi and powerful apps work well with smartphones ; Impressive 8-shot-per-second burst shooting

Sluggish autofocus, especially in low light ; Aggressive noise reduction ; No external microphone input ; Some setting adjustments require multiple steps

The E-M10 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera packs a lot of features and high-quality imaging capability into a very small, sturdy body.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Review

Olympus OM-D E-M10 review: the new E-M10 boasts all of the key features from the original OM-D at a more affordable price and in a smaller body. Angela Nicholson puts it to the test.
