The editors liked
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
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.
High quality EVF
Excellent image quality
Compact metal body
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
The editors didn't like
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
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
Tilting rather than variangle screen
Not weathersealed
No batterygrip
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
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...

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 of
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'...

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
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....
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.....

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....
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...
