Final note about video: My explanation about codecs was a little poor. Suffice it to say the ALL-I compression is much better than the IPB compression. ALL-I tends to do better with motion. Both are still compressed formats. And as indicated in the video even the ALL-I option could have a lower bitrate if there isn't too much action in the scene. So this means that your ALL-I videos "could" look poor if not used for the right scene. Also, the XAVC-S is definitely a higher quality codec than the previous one they had in the A6000. I didn't intend to make a false comparison. In fact, there was such an uproar about the A6000 not having that option, that I believe the forums over at Sony, along with other feedback, is why they chose to add it through a firmware update. This is all to say that even the Sony with it's XAVCS codec is still much better than, let's say, a Canon 60D and its compression.

![Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II 👉 Olympus E-M10 MK IV - [UPGRADE or not?]](/img/n.gif)
Great explanation of a wonderful (yet not much publicized) camera! I have it as well and, although you mentioned it in your description, the live composite and live bulb modes are nothing short of pure magic; to see the actual OUTCOME on your monitor AS YOU ARE RECORDING long still exposures - without blowing out brighter static backgrounds - is beyond amazing! What other cameras do that?! Few brands offer such wizardry. My only regret is that I would have preferred to have the pricier M5 Mark II over the M10 Mark II(only because of the additional features of moiré-free high-rez 40MB mode and being waterproof). Thanks so much for posting this! Killer camera the M10 Mark II - I've seen it for just 399USD already! Thanks!
AerialLensVideo Haha yes. And I agree. And I've also been peaking at the em5 mark 2. We shall see!! Maybe a new video soon!
This was a great video had my OM-D EM10 MKII from the begining and still like to re-visit videos, yours has been a great addition as i wanted to see if i really wanted to upgrade to the MKIII thank you.
ggwildlife you're very welcome. Glad you appreciated it
Thanks for the nice video, man. Choosing a camera is not just about "on paper specification", its all about what you actually need as a photographer (ergonomics, feature, resolution, color, easy to use, etc). Sony, Olympus, Canon, etc are great camera producer. They have their research department that hiring briliant enginer to built their camera. So all we need is choosing the most suitable camera for us among these great brand. For me the em10 mark ii is great, but might not great for others.
This is one of the honest review video about EM10, wE love it!
This is the best review I have ever seen of an Olympus camera.
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words
Great Review Dave!
Thank you very much sir!

Is there in built slow-motion setting or need to edit in software?
I have the original EM 10 and I love it. If you want to improve the ergonomics I recommend a grip.
EM10 also. Still love it. Once I learned how to minimize compression and get rid of the factory shutter release delay, it’s tough to beat. Customizing button functions makes it operate the way I do. Face detect and eye priority are great for ultra sharp portraits which is where my money is made most of the time. Programmed Rec button for manual focus so I can then fire off shots with no need to refocus. I feel Sony has a faster more responsive focus system which is the only thing I need on certain occasions. I feel the background blur everyone uses with FF is overdone and a negative I couldn’t deal with. As well as size and expense of switching systems.
Great review! Chose the Mk II after examining both the Mk III and other 4/3 format cameras. Best bang for the buck in 2019 IMHO.
I can agree to that 😀
The Post Color Blog The 5-axis IBIS was the big selling point - it works!. Got the extended grip, great for telephoto (45-150mm). I don't do video, so that is totally a non-issue in picking a stills camera. Also like the option to choose from Olympus and Panasonic and Panasonic/Leica lenses... great variety and price points.
Thanks for the review. Have one question, what about Panasonic GX85. I like Olympus body and control but GX85 video is much much better? I mean put 4K aside. Thank you.
Awesome video man and you make some great points. I had a Sony A6300 last year and hated the feel of it and the EVF, but it did take amazing photos. I then sold the A6300 and went with a Nikon D7200 (fantastic camera). After shooting a DSLR for a year, I began searching for something lighter and compact to take with me daily, for hiking, and for travel. I finally stumbled on a used EM10 mark ii which I purchased and boy was I impressed! The Em10 not only surpassed my expectations in image quality, but it has more features than my sub $1000 Nikon! Focus peaking, live view, live composite, quiet shutter, real time exposure in EVF are features that absolutely blew me away. I've owned the Olympus for about 6 months now and I find myself using it about 75% of time because of the convenience, ergonomics, and damn good image quality. These are fantastic cameras.
Luigiz28 I almost got the D7200 myself. Dual card slots, lots of mega pixels...nice camera. But like you said, if I am out and about, I'm not going to want to drag that around. Plus I've grown so used to the EVF as opposed to the OVF now. That's awesome that you jumped around like that. I almost had the same path. I really try to not marry myself to any one camera system.
The Post Color Blog I agree. If there's a camera that fits my needs better, then I'm going with it no matter the brand. And IMO, the EVF on the Olympus is way better than the Sony's. I hated that EVF. Enjoy your Em10 man!
Luigiz28 I
You mentioned that 75% of the time you are using the Olympus. What are the other 25% situations when you would rather use something else? Where do you feel the Olympus struggling?
Luigiz28 olympus vs nikon d7200, results???
Can't wait for your video explaining why micro 4/3 sensors on how i don't need to worry about DOF and low light capabilities. Thats the exact why i'm holding off at buying it now. Great videos btw keep it up!
Great review. Do you have any specific settings you use in movie mode
Really love this camera. Practically, usefull, very handy, full of functions. Now very cheap.
Agree with all of that
I used the sony a7 II, the biggest problem for me where the lenses, so expensive. The poor batterylife was a big drawback for me when doing proffesional shoots.The autofocus in darker situations wasnt great to. Before i used a em 5 markII and it had no trouble at all fofocussing in badly lit situations. The lenses are cheap and performed great. So i sold my Sony and got this little fellow. And boy is it a great little camera. You might think im crazy selling a fullframe camera for this one but at the end of the day performance is not olnley the sise of the sensor. Its the man standing behind the camera. And it perfformes so wel. Deadly accurate autofocus en super fast to. Slap on the 45mm f1.8 and you have a beautifull portrait lens. I absolutly love it
I agree. The Sony lenses are way too expensive for what I need them for. Don't get me wrong. Some of those prices are justified. However, I could not justify those prices, again, for what I needed it for. I agree with you on the autofocus too. Absolutely amazing. And I don't blame you about full frame vs micro four thirds. I feel that people put too much stock into that, but thats a video for another day :)
In my hands was many digital cameras and no camera has better ergonomics as Olympus 10 mk II .While body size it small,its grip sits good even in my big hand,Its 2 wheels is very functional, also it has many custom-function buttons.Another thing is good how special modes like HDR is implemented.And of course very powerful OIS
going to buy this camera for my big brother next month!he is said he would probably become a good photographer soon! I said "NO!". bcause of the video functions! I will buy the 10mkiii this September house alone since I am going to buy Samyangs 10mm wide angle and probably the 24mm too! I hate the video functions in my Nikon D750 and the Olympus videos looks nice!
I love my olympus as for plugging an external mic. I use a micro hdmi to vga adapter with 3.5mm audio jack to plug the mic. So far audio quality is pretty good. :)
you mean if i try to plug Audio mic in olympus em 10 mark2 its possible ? and plz tell me detials how i plug in it
I think the hdmi port with the adaptor would stream audio instead of recording it. Or am I wrong?
@barbiexiao do you do your vlogs using this cam? Asking coz I'm gonna buy it and your vlogs looks so good!
I have this camera and i gotta say, the most underrated benefit of this camera, is the LCD, they're very smooth and dense in pixels. Almost like a smartphone
Please tell me, does this camera have RAW format?
@@yacoub7668 yes it does

@@yacoub7668 lmao he oftenly telling the truth, just had a way to mess with it.
@@DRGIZMO29 lol that's true
Great explicit video. I want to buy a Sony A 6000 but now i have to reconsider my decision. by the way, on my right eye i have also a cataract lol
Oh, wow. Yeah. I might get it looked at soon. The A6000 is nice BUT the viewfinder is lower resolution. The a6000 DOES have better video autofocus because of the phase detection. So, it all depends on what you need/want. Good luck :)
I own both the E-M10 III and the a6300. I like them both, but even as an entry level camera, the E-M10 III feels more pro in terms of overall functionality. I love the dual knobs of the Oly, something that's also in my Pentax K-70. Easier to control EV and aperture that way via the OVF, vs having to hit the Fn button on the a6300, selecting EV via joystick and then adjusting it.
(I do realize that the E-M10 II is far more customizable, but I like the upgraded image processor and 4K video capability of the III.)
ATM not letting go of my a6300, but I'm liking my Oly more and more... might hit a tipping point somewhere later this year after COVID 19 clears or greatly minimizes and then I'll make up my mind as to whether I should sell my entire a6300 stash and buy a E-M5 III + at least a PRO 2.8 12-40 or PRO F4 12-100 zoom. Hmmm...
Hello from New York City! Does the EM10 mark 2 support remote shutter release and how to do it? Thank you for informative video. Have a good weekend.
Olympus is far better camera system than any Sony camera system. Had previously Sony SLT 33 which was a garbage. Then I bought Em 10 kms 2 which is a brilliant camera for the price. The lenses are cheap too and very well designed.
This is a very informative video thanks!
I've come around in my thinking about this camera. Initially, I was a bit prejudiced because of the look. I liked the look: they looked really fancy and retro, but they 'only' have 16mp, while Sony's have 24. But I overlooked the great IBIS of these cameras and I also didn't really know what a joy these cameras are to handle. These days I have a Sony for high-quality photo work; a Panasonic for high-quality video work. But when I go out just to have some fun, I take an Olympus.
I agree with this. 😀 The 16mpx is a little long in the tooth at this point but the IBIS really is amazing and it's a great carry-around camera!
I'm buying this soon, but mark iii. That's why I'm here, thanks for your review.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Wow very informative, I am just now researching this camera.
Hi, thanks for sharing the video,i have a question, can the FOCUS and ZOOM be adjusted from the lens?
karen Ortega depends on the lens. Do you mean does it zoom in when you manual focus? Or are you asking if you zoom and focus on the lens itself? If so, mostly nut again, depends on the lens.
The Post Color Blog yes, on the lens itself. I would like to buy this one with the 14-42 mm lens
But I generally make the focus from the lens not from the screen. Thanks 4 answer
Yes, with the lens that you get with the EM10 Mark 2, you can all the adjustments on the lens itself, They do sell a 14-42mm EZ lens, but from what I know, that is/was sold with other cameras (just keep an eye out of that)
I'm a beginner and i'm deciding between the a6000(with the 16-50 lens kit) and the olympus em 10 mark II (with the 14-42). i'll use it especially for video but i'm really confused about which one should i buy...any help?
AVICIIZ I've just bought the G7! Thanks
AVICIIZ ahah nono i've bought it a week ago, before your comment
Thanks man for the very informative video! I'm really interested in this olympus and on the pic side i found for sure very good opinions. I used to own a SONY RX100 IV and the video side were truly awesome, but i heard some opinions about olympus videos that were not satisfiying. What about your opinion on the em-10 videos, were they good, smooth like the sony videos? Thaaaanks!!
5 AXIS on the HDR hand shot is great, and lead.
I have found the continuous auto focusing with tracking very unreliable and probably unusable. Also the eye auto focus only works when the face fills the frame.
Hi, I have this exact camera and recently my Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ lens broke. I am trying to find an expert in what lens I should purchase next that is best for photography and low lighting! Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
the 12-40 2/8 is a FANTASTIC lens if it is in your budget. Also the 25mm Olympus is nice, and fairly priced too
You can also send in the lens for repairs to olympus.
And a really excellent choice indeed! Besides all the other want-to-be brands are chasing Olympus and have been for years. Besides, the lens is top-of-the-line, to say the least.
I borrowed an Olympus em 10 mk2 with the 14-42 kit lens for a test. I already have a Sony a6000 with a 16-50 kit lens. It is actually very interesting because both cameras are very good. I really loved the in-body stabilization, the main con is the rather poor performance of the Olympus 14-42 kit lens, other than that I am loving this camera. The clip you recorded in the end is amazing, made me appreciate it even more, I presume that you were using either the Panasonic 25mm or 85mm because the quality seems much better than my own tests with the kit lens. Can you please share some more info on the lens setup? Nice review.
Thanks for saying so, and yes you are correct. I was using the Panasonic 25mm. I've since updated to the 12-40. A little pricey, but a very very good lens. My next purchase is probably the Laowa 7mm.
The Post Color Blog thanks for the feedback
I had the E-M10 Mark-II but recently sold it on auction. Afterwards I somewhat regretted it as it is currently one of the best selling cameras in the Japan market currently occupying #4 slot of all cameras from ALL manufacturers. I really enjoyed the ergonomics and the control layout. Well, it is not too regretable in a way, as I sold it in anticipation of the Mark-III to soon release on 9/15. Easier to use with touch screen controls and support for 4K. Looking forward to the camera's release.
i switched from the a6500 to M43, in particular the E-M5ii and the Panasonic G85. I don't regret it one bit
I chose the Mk i over the A6300 lol! I 'upgraded' but realised my mistake before I sold my Olympus which I now still have. I also bought a Fuji later on (for the aperture ring and film camera style controls), the Sony is the only camera that I actually wanted to get rid of (and did!). The lack of touchscreen was a dealbreaker for me doing street photography. Worlds fastest AF is irrelevant if it takes several seconds to select the focus point. I didn't have the stomach to pay another 50% (£500, plus the depreciation on the a6300 of £350 in less than a year) for the a6500 just for a touchscreen.
easytorememberuser exactly. Don't get me wrong. I still use the Sony for wedding video but that's about it. I love all the features that Olympus packs in at the price they sell their cameras for. I shoot on my Olympus a lot more than I did on my Sony.
Is the Olympus m10 mark II worth for landscapes and night photography ?
If you're doing those things, even as a MFT lover I have to say that my APS-C Canon does a better job in photography. MFT photos are good, but especially for landscape photography, the benefits of a larger sensor are undeniable. For video, things get a bit more murky, but for landscape photography you want a larger sensor if you can afford it. If you'd like to stick with the MFT system, spend some good money on a high-quality wide lens like the Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8.
@@JodyBruchon Have you a APS-C Dslr or Mirrorless camera to recommend me and cost around 600-700€ to take high quality landscape pictures.
@@poj7134 My Canon T6i takes great pictures with both the included 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens and the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 wide angle lens. Cost for the kit plus the wide lens is probably around the top of the price range you specified.
I picked up one of these bad boys used last year, with the intention of it being a second, more portable camera. I fully intended to upgrade my Pentax gear, but after a year of using this, and the disappointment of the K3 MkIII, I'm pretty sure I'll pick up a used Olympus E-M1 MarkII next and stick with Olympus for a while.
The E-M10 MkII is a brilliant camera though, and I love its compact size. One day in the future, I'll probably upgrade to the MkIV, which looks to improve on pretty much everything this MkII offers.
Absolutely. I am tempted to pick one up myself (the mark 4) but, yeah, it's definitely a great little camera!
That was actually kinda funny when the focus box got stuck to your finger.
The mark 3 has filters ,does the mark 2 as well??
Yes it does :) Thanks for watching, by the way!
Does the Mark II or even Mark III has AA filter or no? Im selling my Pentax K-3 II and want to buy E-M10 III, i hope i will not regret :) (i wanted also Fuji x-t20 but it has no IS built-in).
Vlad Fishermann I hear you on the Fuji. That's one of the reasons I went with Olympus. I spoke with Gordan Laing (cameralabs) and he said the Olympus em10 Mark II doesn't have an AA filter. My assumption is that the Mark 3 won't either
The Post Color Blog great, thanks :) AA filter is not necessary but without it photos can be sharper so its a nice feature :)
Do you have Flickr or 500px etc where i can see your photos made by OM-10?
Is it a good camera for video making ?
I think it is but it's mostly designed for photo. The autofocus in video isn't as good as with Sony cameras (you can see the results in this video). Depends on what you need it for.
i have been comparing a6000 vs canon m50.. and then i stubled upon your video.. now i am more confused.. never looked on different brand but this olympus looks good! and its price is very attractive as well...
Anong binili mo sir?
@@ftudent ito.. i liked it!!!!
@@ftudent you bought olympus?
are you still using Olympus OM10 until today?
I am not. I now own a EM5 mark 2. VIdeo coming out soon - as soon as I setting in my new office.
Contrast auto focus is not what you’re looking for it’s phase detection with contrast. So the focusing system for the Sony is more advanced.
Mike Rivera it depends what you mean by advanced. Yeah phase detection is amazing, and quick. But contrast detection is spot on. And in many cases, also quick. Just not as effective in video
I wanna order the coming E10 III but I want to ask, does it have the SAME specs as the Mark II?
Unfortunately, in some cases, it has LESS specs (such as flash control) but the new focus points and 4k video are a welcome addition. I'd love to get one in my hands and run it through some tests.
@@PostColorGear Firmware version 1.1 has flash control (RC). Just adding this in case someone makes a decision based on this. Thanks for the video!
You might have convinced me almost a year later to grab this guy. I heard bad things about the mark iii. I just need a cheapy to replace my Nikon D7000 for stills and a B cam to my M43 BMPCC and really want IBIS for some vintage lenses and easier run and gun stuff.
Yes, I actually upgraded from this camera to a different line (still Olympus) but more expensive BECAUSE I didnt want to upgrade to the Mark 3. They took out a LOT of great things that this camera had and "dumbed it down" in my opinion, which is disappointing. I hear you on the IBIS. It's one of the primary reasons I went Olympus, along with the form factor and dials, and mostly because of the vintage lenses. I highly recommend it! Enjoy it, if you get it!!!
can that adjustable curve be adjusted for video as to make the image look flat like log?
Close, sure. But because it's just adjusting the footage and not the actual gamma curve, it won't be as flat. But you can get a close approximation :)
@@PostColorGear so, does the adjustable curve act on the already captured video, or on the video before being captured?
The video before being captured. But just like with turning the contrast down, you'll never get as flat as log
@@PostColorGear that sounds impressive to me. i'm leaning towards buying one. thanx :D (i've had an a6300, too)
@@skepsys enjoy it! It's a great camera
I sold my A6300 for an Olympus OMD EM 10 III. I compare them a few days. There are very, very few differences in image quality after post-processing (lightroom) and A2 format print. If you look at the 2 photos from a reasonable distance you won't see any difference.
I was going to go with the mark3 in this body but I read a lot of reviews that said there wasn’t much difference two technology wise. They upgraded the processor and I think, added one art filter ( bleach bypass) but took away a lot of features that were very useful . It seems they made the menu more beginner friendly. I’m new to micro 4/3 so the newer body might have been easier to learn but I will see how this goes. I also use Canon T7i but I don’t really care for it! I used the Canon T3i for 6 years and just decided to order a new body because I used my body literally until it started to die! Lol! I thought that the T7 I would be fantastic. It doesn’t come close to the quality of the T3i! I can’t explain it. I will try both of these camera’s and make my decision. I had the Sony a6000 but I think I had a lemon because nothing was ever in focus!! I also have a slight shake so IBIS is important. Thanks!
I agree with everyone's assessment. I sold my EM10 mark 2 and bought an EM5 Mark 2 because despite the 4k video, the rest of the specs didn't impress me at all. And in reference to Canon, I had the 60D years ago, but I sold that to go to Sony and havent looked back. The unfortunate thing with Canon is that their upgrades are so minimal that it almost doesn't seem worth it. All that aside, I can still recommend this camera, and the EM5 mark 2 if you wanted to go that route.
The Post Color Blog Thanks! I will give it a try since it’s on the way but if I like the IBIS and other features, I will most likely purchase the EM 5m2. I still have to send the Canon back. I just got it about 3 days ago. I don’t care about a restocking fee, if there is one because I just look at it as a rental fee. I really was in complete shock at the lack of progress! Truly, my T3i has better IQ! My wife, who doesn’t know anything about photography, said she thought the images looked...washed out compared to the T3i. I really want to get into macro and there are a lot of great lens choices for the 4/3rds system. I was thinking of buying the Lumix Gx9 but I keep hearing and reading that it’s more of s street shooter and the dynamic range isn’t great as far as landscapes , wildflowers, nature shots and abstracts. I really feel so confused right now. I just don’t know what to do. But, I will keep trying.
@@buddah610 We've all been there. Believe it or not I've actually got a NEW camera but I do miss these two cameras. Good luck on your journey!
The Post Color Blog Thanks! I also thought about the Fuji X-t30 but again, no ibis and the lenses can be very expensive. I have seen companies starting to make more 3rd party Fuji lenses because in the past, it was just Fuji. I had a Fuji xt10 and sold it because I didn’t quite like it and the girl I sold it too had been all over the world for college so it went to the right person. Thanks again and I appreciate your response!!
Hello. I have some questions. I have same camera and lens as in the video and after a while I observed that the right side of the camera starts to get heated. I have the AF permanent off and other things that I don't need off. So the question is what cause that heat? The battery fault, camera or lens mechanism? I don't film and I have the LCD screen most of the time off. Do you have any insight?
I never experienced that with mine. I would try a new battery and see if the same thing happens. If it does , try with a new lens if you have one. (but put the original battery back in) - you don't want to change too many variables at once. My guess is the battery, but it's hard for me to say.
@@PostColorGear thank you for response, I will try it soon as I can.
Soy aficionado a la fotografía, tengo una canon 700D y estoy mirando cambiar a olimpus m5 mark II, por menor peso y tamaño de cámara y objetivos, ademas, que tiene cuerpo sellado y estabilizado el sensor( me han hablado muy bien de ella )
Me gusta la fotografía de paisaje y callejera en especial, aunque hago de todo retrato etc..,
también me gusta la sony a6000 xq la "6300" es igual pero mejorada para vídeo, pero la olimpus me gusta mucho mas, incluso por estética y no creo que se diferencien mucho en el tema del iso de Micro 4/3 al APS-C.
¿ que opinas del cambio al Micro 4/3? ¿ perderé calidad de imagen (definición)?
Saludos.
No, you will not lose any quality. People like to mention the issue with shooting in low light and the lack of shallow depth of field, but I have never really run into these issues. For example, I don't shoot very high ISOs or in very dark places, so not having a Sony A6300 didn't affect me much. I hope that answers your question
@@PostColorGearMuchas gracias por su respuesta, es de gran ayuda para mí.
Tengo dudas entre la olimpus m5 mark II y la M10 mark III ¿ cual me recomiendas ?
I absolutely deteste what the Sony APS-C mirrorless line-up has become. NEX-7... A6000, A5100, ok... but the A6300 had my hopes up and let down massively and the A6500 didn't really address any of the issues it had. They've put focus on the small mirrorless body instead of small lenses, that is the biggest thing they could've ever done wrong. A compact system is about keeping the lenses compact, but the line-up has been pretty much left for dead for the last good 3 years and the A6x00 series is now the FF system entry level for people who can't yet afford to purchase an A7-series body, but will be getting into eventually. Keeping the body small has resulted in numerous issues, stuff like ports and functionality, but mostly chip infrastructure/internals. Basically the heat dissipation is non-existent and it does get hot and interupts operation. Giving users a mode where they can raise the temperature threshold and making it soo hot that it's unpleasant to hold, calling it 'tripod mode', is not a solution. And although the detail level and noise control is very good, the rolling shutter performance is really really bad. They should've gone for a bigger body style (think: Panasonic GH, Olympus E-M1, Fujifilm X-T, Samsung NX1, ..) and get some good piping in there for heat control and sensor data pulling. Bigger body would lead to better ergonomics and features. Like a vari-angle or atleast tilt up display (with better touchscreen implementation than that found on the A6500). A dedicated slot on the side for dual SD cards (none of that BS where you have to open the battery compartment). Proper audio interface and a megaload of buttons and dials to customize operation. But no... they haven't seen the light quite yet. Color isn't great either, especially left on default settings... will even create color channel clipping, what the heck.
The E-M10 Mark II? Superb value. Though, so is a Panasonic GX80 or G80. Or Olympus' new E-M10 Mark III I bet. To me it doesn't get much better than the E-M1 Mark II and GH5 camera bodies. They have just about everything you could wish for. MFT is really killing it. And they have the actually have compact lenses to brag with! Which are in continuous development.
I have an E-M5 for the day and it's really lovely too. Until Sony grows up and get their sh.. together, I'd as well put my money on either Panasonic or Olympus. It's more fun to get a bargain and not be annoyed by quirks whilst shooting and editing. So good on ya!
I literally couldn't have said that better myself. I love the features that they are packing into the Sonys. I honestly do. But you're right. The ergonomics on that are odd too, and they definitely could have afforded to have a larger body. I'm glad you mentioned the A6500 too because that has in body stabilization and a touch lcd. But every review I've seen indicates that both of those were poorly implemented, so I dont mind saving the money I did to get the Olympus. I agree with you on the EM1 mark 2 and the GH5. Those are amazing. I may consider those for more professional work (I couldn't justify the prices for just a personal camera right now). Thanks for the comment and thanks for making me feel more confident about my decision haha
Ha, cheers m8! ;) I backed for the Veydra Mini Primes when they were on Kickstarter. The good thing is they later announced that they were going to roll out user swappable lens mounts for MFT -> E-mount. I immediately ordered a mount conversion kit as rumors about the A6300 grew stronger and stronger. APS-C to me is where the performance is at. MFT does lack a little in dynamic range especially, but also in color 'thickness' if you will (though have come a long way already!) and lowlight high ISO noise performance. With MFT less options to go wide. Less shallow depth of field too. So, APS-C would've been great, yet, nobody makes an excellent APS-C mirrorless system like Olympus & Panasonic do! Started out with the GH2, gotten the E-M1 for stills. Skipped the GH3, went with the GH4. Gotten the BMPCC. Checked out the B.I.S. on the GX80. Went with the baby GH5 that's the G80. Never used the GH4 anymore. :P And today I've ordered the GH5! There was a good deal init for me, and I'm a sucker for good deals and now with the new firmware announced... ooh la la, that does sound amazeballs. xD So... money goes towards Panasonic this round! Sorry Sony & Co, but you'll have to come up with something better than that!
This camera or the Canon M50? Thanks
I would recommend the em10 Mk II Donald! I think the selection of lenses for this camera is better all around than the m50. You can get quality primes and pro level zooms at good prices in the MFT system. I think you would be happy with either, but Canon isn't going to let the M line cut too deeply into their R or EOS lines. As a result, they're going to hold the M system back a little bit.
I agree with everything that Stephen said, honestly
You have chosen....wisely
Hi.Wonder if you could help.Found this video:th-cam.com/video/ysRcTyKdhp8/w-d-xo.html
I can't find the high resolution mentioned in the video on my m10 mark II
how long battry low
I don't recall. I didn't do extensive testing. They aren't the largest batteries. I kept 3 of them on me.
Anybody prefer EM-10 Mark II over X-T20?
@Lee Wardle cool!my big brother is on his way so we can pick up his 10mkii at my photopusher!I am hoping theyre announcing the 5mkiii later this year since its their 100th anniversary! I hate shooting video with my D750 and I really like the Olympus video settings a lot!
@Art Images Did i heard it right??
This camera will stabilized my analogs lens??
@Art Images i have the xt 10 is nice but this one with that option!!
Surely video compression is represented by its bitrate... not as a Byte rate. There are 8 bits in a Byte. So, expressing the video quality as 50 Megabytes per Second is actually 400mbps. Now that is pretty impressive.
Yes I definitely misspoke. Actually if you watch my newest video about the Panasonic G9, I've corrected myself.
Not sure how I ended up with that habit.
Thanks for watching!
Im trying to love my Olympus but I hate the raw format that they force you to have. I want my normal raw so I can edit on Lightroom 3. So I went and paid for Lightroom 6 from what I read in forums it should support orf files.
Just shoot jpeg if you don't understand that Raw is always proprietary to each camera.
How's the low light of Oly E-M10 ii compare to a6300?
How do u think?
sounds like Jimmie Smith! Nice
My EM10 MK ii is still Rockkkkkkkk !!!
Mine too!!!!!
Check out the Wood Grips from JB Camera. I have the OMD 10 II one and it is amazing perfectly balances this camera. They are pricey but hand made and very worth it.

I wouldn’t use a Sony if you paid me. Their customer service is based in Hell.
I literally don't understand the use of literally. Nice review though.
Why not the Olympus omd em 10 mark 3
a few reasons. 1. If you mean why didnt I get the 3 instead of 2....it's because I bought it before the 3 was released. 2. I'm still debating on the mark 3. The focusing seems better, and now 4k video, but I hearing that they actually REMOVED some items too. So....I am not sure. I'd have to play with it first. I've even been peeking at the EM5 mark 2 because of the tethering option that the em 10 doesnt have.
The screen on my m10 mk2 stopped working so as a present my wife brought the m10 mk3 for me. The mk3 is great but I missed the depth of control that the mk2 provides so I got it repaired. It cost half the cost of a new one, but well worth it to me. Its my number camera.
A more comparable camera would be another CDAF camera, what you on about. IBIS, touch screen, it pees for me whoop whoop. YOu got suckered in. How is your focus tracking burst shooting going? Rofl. Until Oly drop the toys and put a hybrid focus system in these cameras, they are just gimmicks. Focus first, every time.
I really don’t see why this camera will beat the a6000. All that people insulting Sony cameras... I really don’t understand why so much hate
Fanboys everywhere.
facundo lamelas I owned the A6000. I liked the A6000. Did you watch the video at all? I didn't insult it. Also there is no IBIS in the A6000 and the bit rate is lower
Wasn’t talking about you
facundo lamelas fair enough. :)
The Sony looks sooooo boring...
Good choice. Because Sony simply sucks. It's a toy company (Playstation) making expensive toy cameras.
They have a lot of good features that I like. But they definitely need to refine a LOT of things. Like menu items, and not rolling out small cameras with big sensors that overheat. It's a shame, really. They've seem to become serious with the A7R3, at least.
Just because you're too poor to afford sony products doesnt mean they're sucks lmao
The mft cameras have one big fault with them. It's the small sensor and small resolution. Nothing but nothing what anybody says can change that.
Viva 24 mp Apsc sensors ......Viva.!!!!! Down with 16 mp mft sensors ......down.!!!!
I have the Sony a 6000 . It's the best. !!!!!! I love it.
M43 Has just terrible dynamic range...colours etc are truly horrible. I had a gh4 and gx8 and sold them very quickly.
LOL
U really don't know how to use a camera then:)
nonsense!
A nutjob exists in every crowd. If you think Olympus colours are horrible then you must be colour blind.
Someone needs to visit the optometrist.
