Olympus hones the E-M10 into an even better camera, for a price

extremely good value

This camera is marketed as being for beginners to mirrorless/slr photography and I would certainly agree that it meets this. The quality, look and feel of the camera is exactly what you would expect from Olympus- outstanding.

Had it about a month now and are really happy! Think it takes great pictures and good movies. Image Stabilizer really do their job when it comes to the movie! Good sized camera, it goes down in a jacket pocket so it brings out compared to a larger SLR.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II review: Small and powerful, the E-M10 M2 may deter you from dirt-cheap dSLR

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II joins the ranks of cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix G7 and Fujifilm X-T10 whose manufacturers hope to lure entry-level dSLR buyers away from bread-and-butter models like the Nikon D5500 and Canon EOS Rebel T5i/700D. And if you're willing to step off that well-worn path, the EM10M2 has a lot to offer that those cameras can't match, including a more compact, attractive design and a broad feature set that they technologically can't replicate. I don't think it's quite as good as the G7, but it offers some capabilities that make it a very competitive alternative.

Attractive and compact, with a broad feature set, solid kids-and-vacation performance and nice photos, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is a good choice for photographers on a budget who like to fiddle.

The OM-D E-M10 Mark II offers some unique but useful features in a smaller-than-a-dSLR design.

The grip could be bigger and its continuous shooting can't keep up with the competition; Plus, you really need to read the manual unless you're running on full auto.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Review

Olympus has always impressed with its OM-D line of mirrorless cameras. They feature chic, retro-inspired styling, excellent ergonomics, integrated EVFs, and cutting edge features. The OM-D E-M10 Mark II ($649.99, body only) keeps that tradition alive in terms of imaging—it's amazing that a body this compact features a 5-axis stabilization system. It also includes a large, sharp EVF and excellent Wi-Fi implementation. But it omits the 4K recording capability offered by rival Panasonic's G7, and it can't keep up with the Sony Alpha 6000 ($549.99 at Dell Technologies) 's autofocus system. The Alpha 6000 is an older model (it too omits 4K), but it remains our Editors' Choice for mirrorless cameras under $1,000. DesignThe E-M10 Mark II ( at Amazon)  is shaped similarly to its predecessor, the E-M10 ( at Amazon) , but raised knurled control knobs give it a distinctly different look. It measures 3.3 by 4.7 by 1.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 13.7 ounces without a lens. That's a bit smaller th...

The OM-D E-M10 Mark II is another solid mirrorless camera from Olympus thanks to 5-axis stabilization and a great EVF, but it's missing 4K video.

Compact, but comfortable to use; Large, sharp EVF; Tilting touch-screen display; 8.6fps continuous shooting; Built-in flash; 5-axis stabilization system; Wi-Fi

Accurate tracking requires slower burst rate; Wacky power switch; No mic input
