For those who prefer to read an article format., here is my blog review: robinwong.blogspot.com/2021/0...
Olympus PEN E-PL10 was launched in November 2019, but only available for sale in Malaysia recently in March 2021. Hence I wanted to take a closer look at this camera, and see how it performs today in 2021. The E-PL10 is an entry level mirrorless system camera, that has interchangeable lens capability, and features a Micro Four Thirds 16MP (older generation) image sensor. It is designed to be compact, light, and easy to use, with simplistic layout, minimal buttons and dials, and stylish look. The camera is made for casual everyday shooters in mind, definitely not for professional or serious use. I brought the E-PL10 out to do some street shooting as well as covering a live theatre show in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center. I tortured the E-PL10 in a dimly lit stage, with actors dancing and moving constantly, I had to shoot with high ISO (6400 mostly, but went up 12800 and 25600 several times). I concluded that the E-PL10 still far surpasses what even the best smartphone camera can do today - being able to use any lens (tele lens in this case for far reach), having extremely fast and reliable AF even in low light, and very good image quality at high ISO.

Just in case you missed the description, I have also written in blog article format for Olympus E-PL10 review here: robinwong.blogspot.com/2021/03/olympus-pen-e-pl10-review.html
I try to keep the video as short as possible, hence I did miss out some points, eg my complains about the camera. Based on analytics, most people click off at the half point of the video, so why bother saying all the things if most people don't even bother to listen? So for a more "complete" review, do read the article!
Hello Robin, I watched your great review and read your blog. I have a extra question. I am interested to buy this camera after hearing your review, but there is one thing that you didn't cover and need your OK. Can I use the the E-PL10 for live streaming? Have you done it?
I used to use Nikon, then Sony, and now Fujifilm. I have no interest whatsoever in buying into an Olympus system, but I have been watching all of Robin Wong’s videos because he seems like a genuinely good person. Keep the content coming!
Thanks for sticking around. You are being too kind. Keep shooting!
Same I shoot fuji and have been watching a ton of his videos lately haha
even 2 years later I find your videos very informative and some of the very best on the internet. thanks so very much!!!
I still have my E-PL 1 i bought back in 2010....it's still going strong and takes great pictures!
Your photographs of food always make it look soooo good!
Excellent video Robin. You hit all the reasons why this camera is worth getting. The E-PL10 does very well what it was designed for: to be a camera for smartphone photographers that want and need something more [than their smartphone]. In the US it's very well priced at $550 USD which includes the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. The only thing I'd add to that would be the Lumix 25mm f/1.7 and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lenses for a very reasonable $250 combined. For $800 USD you'll get a great camera that will be useful for years, unlike your current smartphone. All the best of luck to JIP in their new venture.
This person is so much wholesome! Keep smiling bro. 😃
Two favorite Wong photo subjects I really like; foods & kitties! Lol! Thx! 😄
Yesterday I took out my old EPM-2 and rediscovered how much of a fun camera it is. The EPMs were even smaller than the EPL series and it's unfortunate they were dropped. I put the Panasonic 12-32 on it because I like the wider angle of view and manual zoom instead of the 14-42 EZ with its electric zoom. I think an EPM-3 with a new ultra compact 15 mm f/2.4 inverse retrofocus pancake lens (i.e., a digital Olympus XA) and flip up screen like the EPL would make an absolutely wonderful walking around street camera. Flip up the LCD and shoot from the belly, like a TLR, and get a level view of the world instead of angling down from eye level shooting. No camera bags needed, just slip the camera in and out of a pocket.
My first micro 4/3 cameras were the PL2 and PL 5 and my biggest complaint was the lack of a viewfinder. I added the VF2, then the VF-4 and it made the cameras much more fun to use. As you write in your blog, Olympus needs to bring back an electronic viewfinder for the camera! I guess I'm old fashioned (and old!), but I just have to have the option of a viewfinder for most of my shooting.
I was lucky and managed to buy one of these for £370 and it is a super little camera. Best to steer clear of the E-PL9 as electronic shutter is hidden in a special mode and bizarrely locked in to the super warm white balance which give a tobacco stained room effect. Likewise with the E-M10 III but they brought out an E-M10 IIIS which put electronic shutter in to all modes but this was not done with the E-PL9. I actually bought an E-PL9 and sold it on quickly. Most reviewers missed this improvement and thought the new camera was the same. Many reviewers have little experience with the developments in any model range especially in this affordable sector. The Keystone compensation in AP makes this my favourite camera for buildings as you can dial out the lean when viewing from a low angle. Being able to buy in body stabilisation at these prices is something aps-c still mightily struggles with.
I use the Olympus E-PL8 for street (pana-leica 15mm f1.7), Portrait (Sigma 56mm f1.4) and studio work (12- 45 F4 pro). I even got the godox x2t radio trigger. So much lighter than my FF camera + less intimidating! (Perhaps i should consider buying an EM5/EM1😀)
This is such a fun camera, with a prime lens it so small, but powerfull.
The Pen range of cameras is so underrated. My first Pen was an E-PL1. I had an E-PM1 as well, I did not like the 12MP sensor and the colors it produced. Now, my pocket MFT camera is a E-PM2, which has the same 16.1MP sensor as the E-PL10 and is the smallest Olympus MFT camera available. I wish Olympus had better pancake lenses to go with the small Pen bodies, so they become pocketable.
Thank you Robin for all your videos, I am an artist and really enjoy doing photography and I was looking to a more compact camera and thanks to all your videos I could find my dream street photography camera, you are so helpful thank you!!!
Great pictures Robin and great to see you back to your enthusiastic best. Looking forward to more of the same, as I'm sure you will be top class for many years to come.
Thanks. More photography adventures coming for sure.
Great video, Robin! It is refreshing to see camera manufacturers and fans come directly at smartphones, as the two classes of cameras have their strengths and weaknesses. I have long wondered why the “real” camera makers don’t just do stuff like show a super-telephoto being mounted and then play the in-camera video going from 14mm to 150mm with a voiceover intoning, “No smartphone can do this and create an image worth sharing.” Or perhaps a video asking the simple question, “Why aren’t smartphones used to shoot sports?” and then go through how large-aperture long lenses are required to get the separation needed to truly capture and emphasize the decisive moments in a game. I think camera companies and their marketers have large blind spots when it comes to promoting their products against disruption from the low end. What comes almost instinctively to a professional photographer can be re-told clearly to novices who are frustrated that they can’t get the shots they want, but don’t know that some realities of physics require the full capability of a system camera.
This is a very well done video. I just bought one of these cameras. I actually tried to get Adorama to swap it with the E-M10 before it shipped but it came all the way to me anyway. I do wish it had a viewfinder, which is why I last minute tried to swap it. But once I got it out of the box I knew I'd keep it. Anyway Olympus may never make another new Pen camera so get one while you can!
nice review Robin im thinking of adding this little beauty to my collection.
Stylish, little gem. Pair it with small prime and be happy ;) Robin, thanks a lot for review! Nice to see life in KL going back to normal.
Thanks Mike, things are getting better, but the partial lockdown is still in effect. Can't move too much or too far from the city yet.
I have an E-M5 Mark III and I had an E-PL9 as my second camera. The E-PL9 was great! Then I bought an iPhone 11 Pro and sold the E-PL9. That was a mistake! The iPhone takes good pictures, but the E-PL9 was much better. This is particularly noticeable when editing images. I'm waiting for an E-PL11 - I'll buy it.
Yeap, still can't replace a real camera, at least not yet for now.
Thanks for the superb review of Olympus' PEN EPL10! You made some compelling arguments in it's favor. I will definitely consider it for my micro-budget film making. Your photography will it really shows it's advantages. I love it tack-sharpness and gorgeous colour rendition. Just wish it had an external mic. input though!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the PL10! For me they are life changing. I'm not joking!
I actually own and love my E-PL10. But the first thing I automatically did after taking a picture, was zooming in, to look for the little grain in a dark background. "Pixel Peeping". So I tried to stay at ISO 200, or at least below ISO 1600 in low light situations. The furthest I ever went for a completely dark room - barely lit by a few candles - was ISO 6400. So watching it now on screen, without pixel peeping, I got practically grain free pictures of not moving people. And dozens of blurry dancing couples I can never recover.
And now you come along and show an amazing picture taken at a whopping ISO 25600 - a setting I would never ever have considered at all! So I'm looking forward to take pictures, where I care about the main topic most. If it is moving people in low light, I'll take whatever ISO it needs to nail them. No one expects an action picture to be perfectly grain free, but to be sharp and memorable!
This video looks dreamy. What body/lens did you use Robin?
Enjoyed the video, thanks. I have a PEN Lite E-PL5, 14-42 and 40-150 kit zooms and a 25mm 1.8 prime lens. Very nice combo.
Nice job Robin. I always enjoy your videos and the insights you bring to the various cameras. Even in 2023, I think we can say that a decent dedicated mirrorless or dslr camera out performs most smart phone cameras. Keep up the good work.
Concise interview well laid out info.
Thank you!
Great video I love your passion. I agree this is WAY better than the best smartphone. Like your shirt too 😄. Looking forward to next video.
Thanks. More red shirt power
It's great to see the Pens getting some love on your channel! (And hopefully a sign that OM D S will continue the line.) However, as an E-PL8 user I think you should have mentioned that the Pen Ten has some downgrades that MAKE it an entry-level camera, where they USED to be for serious photographers too. The E-PL8 had the same svelte layout, but you could customize 5 of the buttons; on the Ten, 2. The E-PL8 offered 26 features you can assign TO a button; the Ten, only 11 (not including ISO). The E-PL8 offered 4 custom modes (then called MySets) that you could map to unused spaces on the Mode dial; the Ten eliminated those. Finally the E-PL8 had the plug that supported the (terrific) VF-4 external EVF as well as other accessories. I have an E-M1 Mark II and still use my E-PL8 more often for street photography due to its pocketability and tilt screen. Now, for some reason they gave the Pen Ten silent shutter, which the E-PL8 doesn't have, and I wish it did! So despite all my pet peeves I might still upgrade...cheers!
I love all cameras, any shape and sizes.
First of all, all your complains about the E-PL10 should be directed to E-PL9. Olympus made a decision to take out all the features (accesory port for EVF attachment, shortcut buttons, etc) simply because of one reason - people who buy E-PL series cameras don;t use it. Even if they do, maybe 2% of the E-PL users only, and that does not justify them keeping these extra bloats, which costs a lot more to make the cameras.
I don't blame Olympus. They put a lot in the camera, the E-PL7 had too many features, but if people just don't use them (not surprising, since entry level users are happy with basic camera setup), why continue making them available?
Enjoyed the review, Mr. Wong. I gave mine a try for 6 months, having purchased it in December 2022, however, today I am selling it. For some reason I never could achieve a sharp enough picture worthy enough to process. I have an E-P5, E-M1 and E-M10 Mk IV which have no problem. The Menu Options should be the same.
I got into Olympus through my E-PL8 and I still love it. I want the E-PL11 to have a microphone port so that OM Solutions can use it as an opportunity to sell more Olympus microphones!
Hi there, I still have and love my E-PL7 as a secondary camera. The only thing I really miss for discrete shooting is a silent shutter. I know the silent shooting option exists in the newest model but not in M or A mode which are the only modes I use. So I am hoping for a E-PL11 that allows to swict to silent shutter in any mode.
That's how I got into the Olympus and MFT systems. I added an OMD-10 Mark III. (I missed the view finder.) I just bought Panasonic G7 for video because it has a mic jack.
@@geedee3817 The very reason I bought the E-PL-10, while already owning an E-PL-9 is, that Silent Shutter works in all five manual Modes now! Waay easier to choose and it remains chosen, even if you turn the camera off and on again. You still can't have it in all three Automatic modes (Automatic, Advanced Photo, Scene) though. I didn't use them anyways ^^
While I was just testing the differences between the two cameras, I had the Panasonic 20 mm f 1.7 on one camera and the M Zuiko 45 mm f 1.8 on the other camera ... the M Zuiko lens is lightning fast for silent Focus bracketing in comparison. The Panasonic 20 mm takes forever to close the aperture. Didn't know that. Maybe I really should consider buying the M Zuiko 17 mm f 1.8 ...
@@genius1a Thanks so much for your response Max! Glad to hear about the silent shutter. I have all 3 lenses you mentioned, the 20mm Pana, 45mm and the 17mm F1.8. Oly. The manual focus clutch alone is worth going for the 17mm over the 20mm Pana in my opinion. And it is dead silent in operation and focuses very fast.
I started with PENs EPM3 later EPL-5, later EM-1 and now EM1 Mark II. PENs are very good cameras with a result almost comparable to OMD. Thanks a lot for your work Robin!
You probably mean E-PM2, unfortunately there never was an E-PM3. Man, an E-PM3 with an updated TruePic processor, some better image stabilization and a better touch screen interface along with better pancake lens options would be AMAZING.
Very nice video, thank you Robin!
In my opinion the Pen series are a stand out, always have been even back in the old days when I shot half frame 35mm.
I'm concerned about the future of the product and the possibility that what is being sold now is the last we will see.
Names go on but when parent companies dump a division to odd owners it usually isn't a good sign.
I love the form factor and the other products have always been first rate but I just can't put my investments into them at this time.
I use my E-PL9 for years now as my everyday camera with adapted lenses or Olympus ones. The ergonomy is perfect dispite the lack of custom buttons & only one wheel. Very easy to operate. The image quality is great & the 16Mo sensor is excellent. This camera with a few lenses is the lightweight setup in my bag everyday :)
Yer, love mine and I have quite a few cameras
Can we add an external evf to this camera ?
@@andrewlim8116 it is not possible with the 9th and 10th generations of Olympus E-PL. Get the E-PL 8 to have a connector for an external EVF
Hi Robin, thanks for the review! I have the OMD-E-M10II, but for travel it's too bulky for me, so that I find myself often to not have it with me. Would you say it's worth buying the PL10 as a second camera for travel? Does it have better video than the E-M10II ? Another reason why I often only carry the smartphone, because I need it, when I like to switch to video. Thanks!
Great colors from the Olympus E-PL10, like all Olympus M43 cameras.
Indeed, I love Olympus' color science
I became friends with the Olympus system in 2015, when I bought the first version of the OMD EM10, which I still use for reportage photography in an educational institution and while traveling (although I also have a Nikon D750). For New Year 2021, I bought an Olympus PEN E-PL10. It cost just over $ 500 without a lens at a discount (Moscow, Russia). It is white and is in perfect harmony with the silver 17 / 2.8 and 14-150. In my opinion, the Olympus PEN E-PL10 makes FullHD video in the theater even better than the Sony Next FS 100 camcorder with an 18-200 lens. And it has a good 4K. I also like the photos in terms of color and quality, especially if you shoot indoors with an external flash. I have chosen this Olympus model among many other options from popular companies. But the matter was decided by the price, the presence of silent photography, focus stacking and the stock of my lenses (25 / 1.8, 45 / 1.8 and others) from the previous camera.
I have a EPL-7 and a EPL-8, the lenses are a 40-150mm and a 9-18mm by Olympus, together with a 20mm and a 12-60 by Panasonic. That PENs are simply amazing: I still wonder about their image quality 😳. Their vintage look makes them your partner everywhere, passersby ask for the name and model, if they notice that I am holding one in my palm, they are so compact!.... I love them!
Great video. Is there big differences between the Olympus PEN e-pl7 and PEN e-pl10?
I love the Pen series cameras (although I have an E-M10MarkII myself), and some of the deals with the pancake 14-42 and 40-150 kit lenses are an absolute steal.
Yeah, these kit zoom lenses are underrated!
@@robinwong definitely. I like nice kit lenses - they're good enough for most uses and they're light, compact and very affordable
Thank you for this. I have this but can’t seem to take good quality food pictures. I don’t know if it’s my setup or do I need a new lens? I am new to all this
Robin; This question is not related to your video but wondered if you might know the answer. With the EM1 M3 can you assign to a button a change of the resolution of photo files to allow changing the resolution of the photos taken live during a shoot?
Robin, I know from the past that you do excellent post processing. Since this Pen is designed, as you mentioned, for beginner or casual use, are the images you present right out of the camera? I think that this is what people want to see, especially those for whom this camera is for.
Hi!!! I loved your video! Do you recommend it to record TH-cam video vlogs?
I have been using the older E-PL8 with the Panasonic 14mm lens and am happy with the small size and wide-angle lens for outdoor use. I have that 40-150 lens too and I was impressed for $100 US how great it is. I have started to experiment with editing in Affinity Photo, and its lens profile and chromatic aberration removal are helpful for the Panasonic lenses. Better than my phone for sure!
The 40-150mm R is such an underrated lens.
Thanks Robin; what difference between the E-PL7 and the E-PL10 ??
Is Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 a better choice? Great video!
I really like it. Perfect size and features for me. However, I can't see any improvement over the older, cheaper, E-PL9. Did I miss something on the spec sheet?
Why did you give this a better review than you did the pen f in your blog?. The pen f is superior.
Which one you recommend? Olympus PEN E-PL10 or Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV ? I have a 15 years experience in photografy, also in classic film fotografy and digital, i have sony a850, a750, a58 and a500 but i'm looking for something smaller for doing fotos in travel, especially to take with me by plane. My decision is micro 4/3 system, i'm considering whoses cameras.
Excellent review as ever, would be good if you have the time to give a tutorial, appreciate your depth of knowledge but would be great for people moving from smart phones to have a point of reference for them to be shown the menus and walk through
Hi, I need something to take product photos of my products. Do you recommend this? I’m trying to decide between this and the canon r50
Little difference to E-PL 9, which I have been using professionally for video. Love the quality, 4K capability, slow motion and the 3 axis IBIS is good enough for most situations (for more complex shots I use a gimbal). For quick delivery I can even adjust the colors and add effects (for example old movie with scratches) directly as I shoot.
Interesting to hear you shoot video with the E-PL9!
@@robinwong Yes Robin, I do use it for video, as I can rig it big as well as make it tiny and unobtrusive and my clients love the quality it delivers. I often have limited time for processing and this little wonder allows me to tweak the effects directly in the camera. It even allows limited color grading! I believe it was marketed wrongly for just female influencers who want to extend their smartphone capabilities, as it can do so much more!
@@cineffect I never found a cage for my E-PL9. Which one are you using ?
@@jcduval83 I was not able to find one either, just put it together myself using standard DSLR camera rig with 15 mm rods.
I still love my E-LP 7. It’s just so easy, and the images have that Olympus magic.
E-PL7 is a gem!
which is better 8 or 7? thank you
I have always thought that the “ kit lens” was a cheap and poor quality lens, or so I was led to believe. However your photos taken with this Olympus 14-42mm lens are super! Are these wonderful photos due to lens quality or photo editing?
Thank you. Can you put an external viewfinder on the hot shoe?
I watched your video and I learned a lot on using my Olympus pen epl-10. But I have a question here, how can I rotate the subject (me) when using the selfie? Because when I am using the selfie, myself is inverted.
I just noticed the US version of this camera comes with the built in lens cap that closes when you turn off the camera while we're getting the cumbersome plastic cap that you can lose cause its tiny.
Great Video 👍🏼
My E-PL 7 was my gateway to the Olympus system. I still use it, despite having two OM-D bodies. With the right lens, it is smaller and more compact than many smartphones. I recommend getting the add on EVF, which does not add a lot of bulk to the camera. Thanks, Robin for reviewing this camera, which does not get the recognition it deserves.
Just a note that the E-PL10 does not support the old Olympus EVFs culminating in the VF-4. The E-PL8 was the last model to do so, along with other plug-in accessories like the MAL-1 macro light. You can still fit an external OVF like the VF-1 into the hotshoe, but not the EVFs.
@@mattwaller8959 Thanks for the information. I do not understand why Olympus would make this decision. I prefer shooting my E-PL7 with the EVF.
My 10 year old e-pl3 still going strong. The only problem with that was the bad autofocus in darker conditions say from ISO 1600 and above. Is autofocus improved with e-pl10?
Apart from everything else: I love that t-shirt! Really, it suits you very well. 😉
Yes, it pairs well with the background on video. Good choice.
This is the first time people say something about my shirt!
@@robinwong Not true! I've previously pointed out that a red tee suits you, and you replied that it made you too conspicuous when doing street photography (or words to that effect) :-(
Is it possible to switch off the loud clunk and jolt when taking a picture with an E-PL10?
It is worse than the mirror clonking of the Mamiya RB67 I had 30 years ago.
Latest talk is B&H and Japanese companies have discontinued it. Store withdrawal of stock does not necessarily mean end of the line but nowadays it can be risky to dally too much in this tricky and unpredictable market before getting something. Who knows a new Pen F is in the offing but hopefully not at the same price level though.
Im deciding between the m10 mark iii and E-PL9. Which do u recommend? Im a nub.
This is even better than some DSLR cameras :)
I had a E-PL8 but could not get along with the lack of a EVF so I sold it and bought a E-M10 mk2.
Hi Robin. Do I need lens filters for this camera lens?
Great review of what looks like a very nice and good quality portable camera. Do you think there is a noticeable improvement in still image quality with the E-P7 over the E-PL10 ?
Yes there is. Had both, then sold my Epl10. It's a nice camera though for street photography etc
this camera, is it nice to shoot sport as inline skate or to shoot telephoto as moon at night ??
can the E-PL10 be considered better than premium compacts?
Robert had an embarrassing fail today on my epl9….. flipped to movie mode but when i press the shutter it just takes a still….. red button does nothing …. No Movie . Any ideas for me please?
whats the main diff between this and OM-D E-M10 Mark IV?
Looking to get a viewfinder for this camera, any suggestions?
HELP!!!!!!!!! I was messing about with new EPL10 looking at all the menus in AP and trying the different silent, panoramic etc modes that came up on the screen but now I can't get rid of them so every time I switch it on I get the damn selection on screen!
It's driving me nuts.
How can I get reset to have a live view screen at startup?
I like the AP setting for taking pix but need to have a live view on startup.
About time what took so long
I had no access to Olympus products, until recently.
Has lockdown eased a bit in Malaysia? Good to see you out and about again! In practice, what is the difference between the image stabilisation of this E-PL and the EM10 Mk II or Mk IV ? ... or the E-M 1 Mk II ?
The lockdown is partially lifted but we still have movement restrictions and we can't travel out of state yet. No events or crowds, and many places are still closed. But we can now do public photography and filming.
E-PL10 has 3-Axis IS.
E-M10 Mark II and Mark IV has 5-Axis IS.
E-M1 Mark II has 5-Axis IS, but a much improved version.
@@robinwong thanks, but I practice how much worse is 3 axis? For instance in your indoor shots, is it just the one stop disadvantage compared to 5 axis or is it generally not as good?
Very nice camera
I prefer the small pen-style cameras for casual shooting and travel, and have upgraded several times (I still have two), but when Olympus lost the EVF port after the E-PL8, they also lost me. I'm with you in advocating that Olympus bring it back. Also note, as usual, no lens hood on the 40-150mm :-). You are a brave man.
Same here--I have a Panasonic GX85 to go along with my E-M5 MkIII. There's still a certain charm to using the "rangefinder" style bodies. Also, I have a hood for my 40-150R too, but I stopped using it. Adds too much bulk to the setup. Besides, the lens is so cheap that you won't mind if something happened to it. 😊
@@Centauri27 I have the GX85 as well. Great minds think alike, perhaps? The 40-150 hood is a bit much; I substitute a collapsible rubber hood which is more modest but functional.
@@johnyutzey6504 The GX85 should've gotten more attention in the 4/3 world. It is the perfect successor to the E-P1! As for the hoods, I realize they must be deeper for the telezooms, but they are getting to be too much, as they add 1/3 to the bulk of the lens. I've stopped using the hood on both my 40-150R and 40-150 PRO.
Hi! Can anyone help me? Where can i find this camera in malaysia? Where can i try first before buy?
Id love to hear your thoughts about the EPL10 video performance. I have one and I want to start using it for scuba/underwater video.
Sorry, not a videographer and I am not qualified to talk about it. The last thing I want to do is to pretend I am something I am not, just like 90% of TH-camrs out there reviewing all kinds of products like they are experts! Trying hard not to fall into that trap.
How will they market the Pen 15?
I like your video very much
I Have EPL9, what's the different with EPL10?
Hi there Robin, I really enjoyed your video presentation. Is there any real difference between the EPL-9 and the EPL-10?
Another great video Robin! I wonder how the size of this camera compare to the Lumix GM1? I loved that tiny Lumix and regret selling it. Now they're so hard to find, so maybe this Olympus is the way to go? Thank you!
E-PL10 is notably bigger and heavier than GM1, I picked up a used GM1 a few months ago and don't understand why Panasonic stopped making it, and the GM5 which are tiny wonders of imaging
@@cmartin_ok Thanks for the reply. I agree 💯 with you about the GM1. I kept hoping Panasonic would keep that GM line going. I'll just have to keep searching for a used GM. Thanks!
I just read the manual of E-PL10 and realized that this new Oly has no MySet and L-Fn custom. Wow. Suddenly felt my old E-PL7 is a more advanced camera.
Maybe it is me. But now, your videos seems more sharper. Are you still using em 1 mk II for recording your videos?
It was never the E-M1 Mark II. It has always been E-M5 Mark III.

how is this comparing to the EM10 Mk4
I think it is good for street photographer. It is handy, easy to use. How is it compared with other street photography camera RICOH GR III?
It far surpasses what the GR can do. GR can't change lens, has less capable image stabilization, does not have tilt screen, and a lot less capable in speed/AF performance.
@@robinwong Thank you Robin
i dont understand why they chose to have the screen flip down
Is there auto-focus?
does it take video?
Hi did you believe that im using this pen camera ep2 as a wedding on previous 5 years before and i got the stunning image and as a DSLR camera
The Olympus EPL10 may be a very good cam, but it is not possible to implememt a EVF4 -Viewer on the cam. The last PEN you can do this was the EPL7. What a shame for Olympus. ;((
Can this camera take aesthetic pics
Very very good❤️
I have an EPL-8 which I enjoy immensely. The image quality coming out of this little camera consistently amazes me all the time and are beautiful to my eye. Camera feels super solid in hand. The lack of an EVF however, and no availability of the optional EV4 (not included and no longer made) really limit the usefulness of this to me and made me question the viability of Olympus’ dedication to ongoing product support. That said, while I enjoy this camera very much including the 3 extra lenses Ive purchased for it, I reluctantly went to another manufacturer when recently deciding on, and buying my next, more advanced camera.
Thanks
Thanks so much!
If you were to choose between this camera and the xf10, which would you choose?
Olympus E-M10
XF10 is a pocketable camera like Ricoh GR.
