A Look At The Olympus E-M10 Mark IV Micro Four Thirds Camera Body

The latest iteration of the Olympus's E-M10, the Mark IV, has a 20Mp sensor, bringing it image quality in line with its more expensive siblings. It has a number of incremental improvements, the most radical being a tilting monitor that will fold under the camera for those essential selfies.

I truly miss you David... Watching this after your passing is a bitter sweet moment... 🥲

Dear David, another year goes by and you are greatly missed. Best wishes to your family. Rich

David does the best camera reviews. Like watching a BBC wild life documentary, but for cameras instead of animals.

I upgraded from the Mark III to the Mark IV about 3 months ago and have no regrets. Better autofocus performance, slightly finer image and longer battery life. This body is not made of ordinary plastic, but of a material, certainly not of metal, but of an alloy of very solid materials. You need to take good care of your photo equipment, use a carrying strap and a quality bag.

I'm going to miss these soothing and spot on reviews featuring those chimneys in the distance.

What a great Christmas Surprise - a new video from David Thorpe!

I love my EM10 mk I, it brings a smile to my face every time I use it.

[JonPYbanez]

great review, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate how the e-m10 series continues to exist and be a great entry level camera that exceeds expectations.

Watching this in 2025. Really nice review. Sad that David isn't around anymore to make such nice reviews. Thanks for your efforts.

I upgraded from the Mark II to the Mark IV about 6 months ago. My Mark IV then unfortunately broke in an exciting and catastrophic way, so I went back to the Mk II for a while. I didn't expect the differences to be so obvious - everything on the IV is significantly faster, for a start. My new Mk IV is on its way to me now - can't wait to get 'back in the saddle' !

A nice surprise to see this today. I use the Mark I, which no one mentions much any more, and still find it really good. I'm just an enthusiast, so it's adequate for my needs. If I ever get better than the camera (unlikely any time soon) I'll change it. In the meantime, next is a couple of the 1.8 primes (17mm and 45mm). I might invest in a smaller rangefinder that will take the same lenses, just to give myself a more discreet option.

I'm working on traveling more for the pure enjoyment of it. I have one of these being delivered very soon. I'm very excited about it.

A Review of yours is a great Christmas gift! No interest in buying the Camera, but huge pleasure to see the Review! I love my GX80! Greetings from the Black Forest and Merry Christmas! And I regret not having visited the United Kingdom while it was still part of the EU. Now I will feel more foreign on a future visit!

5:33 (Photo of chimneys:) Sublime shot, David!

Wonderful, wonderful. I love your approach to reviews. I migrated from Canon to Lumix a few years ago, and even so I hang on every word of your Olympus reviews...as they apply to all things 4/3 as well. Thanks for the time an effort in producing these pieces.

[Kelkschiz]

I love how the E-M10 I and II feel as well. And somehow that's very important to me. I had hoped the plastic E-M10 III was a fluke. Lovely review as always, thanks!

[clarkejones]

David, on re-watching the video I perceive that you have answered my second question, you say that the lens is as sharp as any of its rivals. Thank you.

[TCizauskas]

Reviews like this are why we miss Mr. Thorpe.

[kent]

I always enjoy your vids. Merry Christmas!

Wonderful video, David. The E-M10 II was what I purchased when I first seriously went into mirrorless and it was plenty capable. Olympus Canada had a special pre-order price of $649 CAD with the 14-42 EZ for a month before the launch. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing one as my second body to the E-M1 III.
