Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 14-42mm II R Lens (Silver)
A masterpiece of features, ergonomics and price
Hello fellow photographers, in the last 50 years I have photographed a bunch of different subjects in all kind of light conditions with all kind of gear. Today, I sell my large format art prints as a part-part-time pro. My formal education and career are in engineering.

Small, but powerful
This is my fourth OMD body. I have two EM1s and an EM10, which I've given to my wife to use with a 14-150 M.Zuiko zoom.I bought the MKII for an even more compact camera body. Something to take to my day job for those occasional shots I like to make. The new design makes the MKII a more credible EM1 lite. It has most of the features in a smaller package, but without weather sealing. I can customize the camera settings to match exactly it's bigger ... Show More

Fun and capable.
He tenido durante un par de semanas esta M10 II+12-50mm y la Sony a6000+16-50 mm. Finlmente he devuelto la Sony y me he quedado con la OLY. Desde el primer disparo v claro lo que ya saba... la Sony tiene ms calidad de imagen (debido a su sensor APS-C), y el color es ms fiel a la realidad. Tambin tiene un men ms sencillo, y una batera con ms duracin. Yo, personalmente he dado prioridad a: 1- La gran facilidad para fotografiar con la Olympus, sob... Show More

Rewarding camera
I got this camera for IS which my pana did not have. After a day shooting it, I spent a couple evenings going completely through the settings to get it the way I want. To get back button focus, 1 button needs set to Manual Focus and 1 to Single AF which then locks in the focus. This is also about the best that can be done for sports as it does not track and focus that well. Since my only action shots are my grandson's football, I can get some goo... Show More

First impressions from a DSLR user
There are plenty of detailed reviews out there that will give you a technical rundown on this camera's capabilities. This isn't one of them. I shoot Nikon DSLRs professionally and, until now, for personal use, too, but am tired of lugging them around in a bag that hurts my shoulder, or even the Spider holster (recommended) on my belt. I wanted a small, portable camera that delivered good image quality. So far, I'd say this little Olympus delivers... Show More

Limited Edition silver/brown compared to regular version
I am sure I made the right decision about buying an OM-D EM-10 Mark II, but I'm not sure I made the right decision about getting the Limited Edition in silver/brown which currently costs a couple hundred bucks more than the regular version (in all-black or silver/black). My review will focus on what's different about the silver/brown Limited Edition (LE) and whether it's worth paying extra for. There are three differences between the LE and the r... Show More

Will this become my street shooting favorite
I have had the EM-10 Mark II for less than a month, and a full evaluation will take many months. The 4 stars could go to 5, or stay where it is. I bought the EM-10 as a second body for street shooting (OM-1 Mark II is the first body). The OM-10 has some things that are critical to me for street shooting. First, a completely silent electronic shutter option--zero noise from the camera. Second, a tilting rear screen that allows one to shoot from th... Show More

Small and Responsive
I've used the original EM-5 on and off since it was new. It's an excellent photographic tool, but the EM-10 II is better in most respects. The new camera uses basically the same sensor so image quality is similar, although Olympus has tweaked it a bit. In all I'd say I get about 2/3 stop better noise control at high ISO and a bit better edge acuity. In real world use I don't find image quality differences significant. What is significantly improv... Show More

My new favorite camera!
I starting shooting with fully manual range finders in the 60s when I was a kid, graduated to a Canon AE1 back during my film days. When I made the move to digital I went to the Canon Powershot G1X type cameras with P,A,S,M modes (so still control) but also because of the compactness. And then when I starting shooting infrared the optical viewfinder proved very handy. After getting used to these compact cameras, ever time I looked at a full blown... Show More

I like it...Alot!
I'm giving this camera 5-stars, but the truth is, I don't know if I'm qualified. I'm a rank amateur when it comes to photography, but it is very important to me since I'm a semi-professional watercolorist that focuses on Old World Architecture. I create compositions from photos that I take when on frequent trips to Europe, so that's where the camera comes in. I was approaching a trip to Italy and so I went ahead and bought this Olympus camera and... Show More

Nice MFT camera for less..
I got the EM10 because of it's size. I think the promise of MFT is small size. The EM1, which I owned, and the other flagship MFT's from Panasonic are just getting too big albeit still smaller than good APS-C DSLR's for obvious reasons. Now different mirrorless camera's from Fuji, and particularly Sony, are another matter and where deciding on this camera becomes tough. Ultimately I chose this camera for size, price, and lens selection. You can r... Show More

great balance between versatility and portability
I would rate myself a novice photographer. I have had a passion for photography for many years, graduating from point and shoot to a DSLR about 15 years ago. I liked the reach the DSLR provided with a telephoto lens, but was predominantly a lazy DSLR photographer. My focus was composition and I used auto mode most of the time. Recently a desire to go deeper in photography emerged and I wanted to experiment with techniques like depth of field, and... Show More

The little camera that could
I have been searching for a smaller camera a number of years for times when a full frame DSLR is just not as practical. I am quite pleased so far with the EM10-II. This camera's dials and buttons are placed in a way that makes the camera comfortable to use. The dials have a thickness to them that makes the body nice to hold and use. The button placement is good considering how small this camera is. I have it set up similarly to my Nikon and it's ... Show More

WOW-Just do it.
I have followed the mirrorless and micro 4/3's cameras for quite some time. I have read just about every review and each time concluded that it was not time to make the jump. I shoot a Canon 7D with a variety of of L glass and prime lenses. Was it time to commit to a new system and invest in the lenses...I couldn't decide for some time.

Underwhelming Micro Four Thirds Camera
I purchased the OM-D E-M10 Mark II Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera (body only) as a replacement for a Olympus PEN E-PL1, another camera that uses the Micro Four Thirds System. I re-used the14-42mm f3.5-5.6 M Zuiko lens that originally came with the PEN E-PL1. The most notable upgrade on the OM-D E-M10 Mark II is the viewfinder, something the PEN E-PL1 lacked. Also, the OM-D's adjustable tilt functionality for LCD display is a handy feature. ... Show More

Very capable entry level mFT mirrorless
I REALLY like this camera. For the money, theres not a whole lot that will give you the form factor and the quality this camera delivers. Want custom profiles? Check. Want multiple dials for control settings? Check. Want endless customization menus/options? Check. Want EVF? Check.

A great camera and a great value
My previous camera was a 12-year-old enthusiast-level DSLR. I am amazed at how far technology has come in those 10 years, and I was pleasantly surprised by the features offered by a mirrorless camera. If you are considering a mirrorless camera in this price range (or even entry-level DSLRs), I would highly recommend this camera. I have used the camera with the Olympus 25mm lens and the Panasonic 14-42 (mark II) zoom lens, and have been impressed ... Show More

Excellent little camera...!
I'll admit that I somewhat reluctantly purchased this after my E-PL5 stopped working (review screen issue) and it didn't make sense repairing it for a minimum cost of $142 when a new E-PL6 costs $299. My E-PL5 was actually an interim camera that I purchased while waiting for Olympus to produce a m43 camera at reasonable cost that would support PDAF (for use with some of the older 4/3 lenses that I own), but that has not come to pass. So, instead ... Show More

Really displeased with Olympus
I bought this camera, the OM-D E-M1 and several lenses almost a year ago and I am thoroughly displeased. If you can wade through all the multitude of settings that make sense only to a camera geek and will cost you a major learning curve, if you are not already Olympus savvy, you are far more patient than I am willing to be. Add to that, focus points that seem to wander off center on their own, so that you find yourself aiming at a subject, only ... Show More

Small but mighty!
OK, I'll admit right away that my other camera is an OM-D E-M1 Mark II, and I love it. I had been using a Pen E-PL7 as a smaller backup that shared lenses, but missed both the EVF and the 2nd control wheel on the top deck. It did a fantastic job, and sold me on the smaller Olympus cameras. So, I have upgraded, during the close out sale on the E-M10 Mk II, to this camera. I am not disappointed. Yes, it is a little on the small side for my big hand... Show More

Great size. I'm gaining all the main features of a larger DSLR but with a camera not much bigger than a point and shoot and that means I will carry it more often. Camera feels solid, no plastic feel to the body. The quality of the EVF is superb and I don't miss a traditional OVF so far. Lenses are relatively inexpensive and plentiful with the 4/3 format - one of the reasons I didn't go with the Sony Alpha 6000 or 6300. Cost was much less than the... Show More
