Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV review

A powerful little stills camera for beginners

Capable 20MP sensor ; Impressive image stabilization ; Handy flip-down touchscreen ; Very compact body ; Hundreds of affordable lenses

No microphone input ; No USB-C port ; Video maxes out at 4K/30p

The E-M10 Mark IV is an easy camera to overlook, but if you're looking for a small, stills-focused camera, it deserves serious consideration. Olympus has carefully refined this model over the years, keeping a strong focus on taking beautiful pictures....

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Review: Like a point-and-shoot

In-body stabilization in a cheap camera makes the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV stand out, but is it enough? Read the full review.

In-body stabilization ; Compact, vintage design ; Good image quality ; Affordable

Slower performance ; More noise than APS-C cameras

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Review

20MP Micro Four Thirds imaging ; 4K video ; 5-axis sensor stabilization ; 8.7fps continuous drive ; Built-in flash ; Many lenses available ; In-camera USB charging ; Slim, stylish body

Flip-under selfie screen not ideal for video ; Contrast focus not ideal for action photography ; Slower 5fps burst shooting with autofocus ; Doesn't support add-on microphones

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is a solid starter camera, with support for swappable lenses, a stabilized Micro Four Thirds sensor, and a big lens catalog backing it up.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV is an entry-level mirrorless camera that's feature-packed, and will appeal to beginners as well as more experienced users. Read about the ins and outs of this image-stabilized, low-priced camera here.

The Olympus E-M10 IV has a lot going for it: It's affordable, very compact and lightweight, and pairs nicely with its similarly compact and light 14-42mm kit lens. And it offers pretty good image quality overall, as well as making a noticeable step...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV review in 2024: cheap has-been or modern classic?

It's light, portable and powerful – but does the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV tick all of our boxes?

New 20MP sensor ; Improved C-AF precision ; Flip down monitor

No mic port ; Plastic build

With a new 20MP sensor, incrementally improved in-body image stabilization and a new flip-down and tiltable monitor, the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV has plenty to shout about. Retaining the 4K video and attractive styling that made the Mark III so...

Olympus OM-D EM-10 Mark IV review

Olympus's latest mirrorless camera delivers excellent image quality in a compact design that's a joy to use.

Handsome retro design ; 5-axis image stabilization ; Sharp detail and accurate color in images ; Great mobile app

Cramped right-hand grip ; No microphone jack

There are a few downsides that kept the camera from scoring even higher, such as its autofocus tech and speed vs competitors, especially the Sony a6100. And while the brand has gotten a new lease on life, investing in the Olympus system does entail...
