I am always amazed by the friendly faces you portray. Opening the hearts of your subjects seems to be an important part of Robin Wong's photography. Thank you, Robin.

I've owned the EM10ii for just over a year. As a Nikon DSLR user mainly, the EM10 has literally been my go to for travel and street. It's such a fantastic camera far above competitors at this price point. To call this a "beginner's camera" is laughable, this camera would be considered a prosumer enthusiast camera in the Nikon and Canon world. Thanks to you Robin and Rob Trek, I've been able to understand its vast capabilities and deep menu system. And thanks again for giving the EM10 the praise it deserves!

I bought the Mark IV year specifically for street photography and I love it! I’ve used Nikon systems for over ten years but it could be a bear to carry around. The Olympus camera and lenses are so light and portable, enabling me to get more quick reaction shots. I’m beginning to branch out and trying the Scene functions which are fun, and I’m finding that I really like the built in monochrome profile. Thanks for another great video, Robin!

The Olympus E-M1 Mark I & 14-150mm II is my most used setup. It lets me get so many more compositions from where I'm standing or sitting. As a senior with limited mobility (and budget), it's been a great weather sealed "all around" combo.

Agreed. The OM-D E-M10 Mk III is a bargain used. I had one for a bit and loved it. Used it on some photowalks with a camera club and people were curious but then seemed to lose interest when they realized it was a M43 camera. IBIS and a tilt screen plus the Olympus 17mm or 14mm Panasonic make a perfect street photography setup.

The first EM10 was my first ILC. Despite its entry position, I am still amazed by its excellent built even today. The feel of the shutter and dials are just amazing.

I have the original mk1 em10. Well built, great flip down screen still going strong perfect for street.

[JKWheeler]

I have owned the original EM10 for many years and its still my go to camera for street and travel photography. Excellent video!

I’ve got an e-m10iii. One thing I take advantage of in street photography is the IBIS, missing in the x100 cameras (and possibly gr cameras too?), but perfect for incorporating blurred motion in streets which I like to do. Plus all the points you’ve mentioned. Great video

This all made perfect sense Robin a great video, I prefer my EM10 mkII (serious nature macro + Holiday snaps) with tilt screen over my EM1 mkIII which is used for all manner of wildlife

[thomaskeler]

As always You are right, Robin! I startet with Olympus when i bought the EM 10-2. The tilting LCD Is Perfect for Street fotography.

Great video Robin and they are some of the best photos you've shared. Your use of colour in the compositions has me inspired to try. Great work, keep it coming.

I wish I had kept my OMD EM10.
It was the perfect size and so versatile.
Even with the cheap kit lenses it took lovely sharp pics.

I’m torn between my EM10, which I love, and a Lumix LX100II. The LX100II is new and has made me return to setting the camera controls like we used to years ago. The EM10 is just a delight to use and I will never get rid of it (except to upgrade to a MkII, or MkIV). Thanks Robin for taking the time to present this video. And now, ON TO THE STREETS!!

I started out with an E-PM2 and graduated to this one and loved it to death, especially with the extra grip. I sold it to a friend and he's put it to great use. I moved onto the EM-1 mk I because I wanted to practically apply the weathersealing of the pro lenses but for just walking around the original E-M10 was truly great.

[jimblues]

Great video Robin, I recently bought an OM-5 to sit along side my OM1 as I always missed my EM5 Mk1 because it had the tilt screen, it hasn't got one and that is upsetting and the one thing I miss, oversight on my part!!

[uTPH]

I bought an EM-10ii twin zoom kit some years ago now as a travel camera. Before lockdown I took it to 5 continents with excellent results and no sore neck from heavy gear. I was converted to OM MFT and now have an EM-1iii but still have the trusty portable 10.

[patrickmcfadden]

Robin, another great video, I love using my EM10mii and miii for anything and everything .

[serebrenikovvadim]

Great video Ronin! I'm agree with you. My favourite street-photo kit is is e-pl8 + 17mm/1, 8. This camera has all the performance of the OM-D E-M10 and has a smaller weight and size. And this lens is enough small enough, fast and have quickly turn manual focus.

Thanks for the great review on this very capable little camera Robin. 👍
