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...

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...

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...

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'...

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....
High quality EVF, Excellent image quality, Compact metal body
Tilting rather than variangle screen, Not weathersealed, No batterygrip
I like the Olympus OM-D E-M10 a lot. It's small and light enough to fit in a large coat pocket or small bag so it can be used as a carry-round camera. It affords lots of control over images, feels good in the hand and has a control layout that's easy to ...
Abstract: The E-M10's metal body is solidly built and nicely finished and it's available in black and silver with a new 14-42mm 'pancake-style' kit lens to match the camera body.We've covered the physical aspects of the camera in the first look and also provided in...
