The E-M10 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera packs a lot of features and high-quality imaging capability into a very small, sturdy body. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is the entry-level model in the company's OM-D line of premium mirrorless cameras. ...

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....
Abstract: 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.The OM-D E-M10 is the third model in Olympus's OM-D line-up of Micro Four...
Super light, Fastest focusing of any Micro Four Thirds camera that we've tested, Really small but still comfortable form factor,
Weird controls with the ISO and white balance; let alone the Fn buttons doing more than one thing, Consumers will be confused between this and the Pen EP5
While we have yet to test the OMD EM10's raw file versatility, it is a much better camera than we initially gave it credit for. The JPEG image quality that comes from it is outstanding. But beyond that, this camera focuses like a true speed demon and ther...
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 w...
Great image quality especially from RAW files, Excellent dynamic range for a Four Thirds sensor, Very good high ISO performance, Realistic colors and excellent hue accuracy, Builtin WiFi with remote control and sharing features, Improved HD video, Lightwe
ContrastDetect AF struggles with small and lowcontrast subjects, Mediocre battery life, No external microphone or headphone jack, Mediocre burst speed with continuous AF, No weather sealing, Heavyhanded high ISO noise reduction
Olympus boils down the enthusiast-oriented E-M5 and professional E-M1 cameras into the lightweight and affordable Olympus E-M10 that truly is the "OM-D for all". With the E-M1's powerful image processor, a similar AA-filterless sensor and the E-M5's comp...

Solid all-metal design, Incredibly fast autofocus system, Sharp electronic viewfinder
Lacks weather sealing, Wonky Wi-Fi, No video recording control via app
Olympus doesn't skimp with the OM-D E-M10. It has a solid design and the best features from both the E-M5 and E-M1, but with a price that's way more affordable...

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 Olympus OM-D E-M10 is positioned as the entry-level OM-D camera, though it's just as capable in most ways as its more advanced siblings. It borrows the E-M5's impressive imaging capabilities, without the weatherproofing, and adds built-in Wi-Fi. The E...

With the introduction of the OM-D models Olympus has rightfully garnered a lot of praise. While the E-M1 is more likely to entice hardcore enthusiasts, the E-M10 is likely to appeal to the same users that were attracted by the original E-M5. In that respe...
Not quite classleading video capabilities; JPEGs oversharpened at times
The OM-D E-M10 continues the OM-D series tradition of producing quality cameras built to last the test of time.Although it might not be weather sealed like its stablemates, the chances are that those looking to purchase an OM-D at a lower price point won'...
