Some setting adjustments require multiple steps
It produces good-but-not-great photos and videos

ContrastDetect AF struggles with small and lowcontrast subjects
Mediocre battery life
No external microphone or headphone jack

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
Compact design. Very similar image quality to the rest of the OM-D range. Built-in Wi-Fi. Fast autofocus. Competitively priced compared to an SLR
No weather sealing like other OM-D cameras. Hand grip is quite small, might be a challenge for larger hands. Rear dial is not always comfortable to reach. AF can very occasionally hit the wrong target
The E-M10 will satisfy photographers who are looking for a compact alternative to an SLR at a similar price....
Abstract: Cameras Technology News Digital Life News DateFebruary 27, 2014 reading now (4) Read later This 16mp micro four-thirds camera comes with a retracting kit lens with electronic zoom. It has a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and tilting...
The image quality is not diminished in any way by comparison with the E-M5. The Olympus JPEG quality is still there and the RAW output is brilliant. The Olympus Viewer 3 is still the best bundled RAW converter and image editor
Our right thumb is not large but it still managed to accidentally push the Menu button, which is too close to the camera thumb rest
This camera is so good, we wonder who will be prepared to pay the extra for the E-M5. The higher-resolution LCD, the newer processor and the excellent wi-fi implementation are all seductive features absent from the more expensive camera. Olympus has a new...

The image quality is not diminished in any way by comparison with EM5 “big brother”. The much admired Olympus jpeg quality is still there and the RAW output is brilliant. The Olympus Viewer 3 is still the best bundled RAW converter and image editor.
Our right thumb is not exceptionally large but it still managed to accidentally push the Menu button which is too close to the camera thumb rest
Abstract: Scheduled for release in late February/early March, the OM-D E-M10 is slightly smaller than the E-M5 and, like its sibling, is offered in black and silver versions. The kit lens will also be available in black and silver to match the camera body. Local RR...

Abstract: Don't call Olympus' new entry-level OM-D camera an entry-level OM-D camera. That's what we mustn't say. I don't care what the camera maker calls it: at the end of the day it's a fantastic new OM-D.The E-M10 is a new Micro Four-Thirds interchangeable-lens...
Abstract: An internet review site likened the E-M5 to a gazelle, which is also good simile for the E-M10. As soon as you put the camera to your eye, it automatically switches off the rear screen and enables the electronic view finder. The rear dial I have programme...
Abstract: The PEN E-PL7, the smallest hybrid in Olympus' 2014 range, has definitely taken a few ideas from the OM-D E-M10. They have the same 4/3" 16.1 Mpx CMOS sensor, the same Truepic VII processor and the same type of retro design that made the PEN series so popular. Add to that Wi-Fi connectivity, a 180° tiltable touchscreen, and you've got the E-PL7. Let's see if this little interchangeable-lens camera lives up to our expectations of style, elegance and excellent selfie-taking, all three promised by Olympus.....

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....
Classic design provides a premium feel, fairly priced compared to existing EM1 and EM5 models in the OMD series, pop up flash and WiFi connectivity included, tilting LCD screen with high resolution, 1.4 million dot eye level finder
Smaller sensor size than other big name rivals, nose butts up against LCD screen when using eye level viewfinder
As with Panasonic's GM1, at the heart of the E-M10 sits a Four Thirds (4/3-inch) sensor. This is physically smaller than the APS-C chips found in actual DSLRs and competing CSC brands such as Canon (with its solitary EOS M) Fuji, Samsung and Sony. But bot...
