Why I Love The Olympus EM10 Mark ii

Why I Love The Olympus EM10 Mark ii

I've made a fair bit of noise over the last several months about my switch to Micro Four Thirds and how much I like the system, but even after getting the EM1 Mark ii and now the Lumix GH5, the EM10 mark ii is still my favourite for street photography and every day shooting.

I love mine too. It became maybe my favorite camera after a few weeks shooting with it. Great ergonomics, no crippled features, lots of metal, amazing IBIS. One of those devices that were too good for their time and the manufactur backpedaled on with successors. Ordered a second one to keep as a spare.

My Fuji gear will co-exist but MFT is such a great system with many lens options.

Just treated myself to the EM-10 mark 3. Its my first camera and watching your videos is helping a lot

I’m still learning with my E-M10 mkII and love it.

Thanks for what you do! I'm not much of a street photographer but you definitely inspire me to get out and try it more!!!

In at least one commentary about Vivian Maier's work, they noted that the waist-level finder on her Rolleiflex TLR gave many of her photos a unique, low-angle perspective that she used to good effect. A tilt-screen like the EM10ii's gives you that same perspective in digital.

Great shots. This Camara is impressive. I may have to add one of these to the collection. Been hearing more about it.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the E-m10 II. Love your enthusiasm - that I can easily understand (EM1 mark II owner).

I recently bought an e-m10 and felt in love with it too! It is so much fun to shoot with such a capable tiny little camera 😍

I wonder if stepping up to an e-m5 mark…2 or 3 brings much extra interesting features…

[sylvaincarpenter]

Really dig your videos, they feel pretty real and without the bullshit of some other trendy ones. You actually helped me decide on a E-M10 Mk II and I'm quite happy about it so far, so thanks for that, it's a jungle!
Cheers mate

I got the EM10mii couple years ago used and love using it.

Your video inspired my to go pick one of these up. I found a mint Mark iii body and picked up an Opteka 50mm F2 lens for it. Should have it this weekend. Really needed something for the street photography. My EOS 7Dmark ii is kind of a tank. I also like the stealthiness of the Olympus viewer. Great video.

Lol, you remind me of me, 40 years ago 😱 my favourite camera? The OM1 mk2 with 24mm prime. 😎

I bought am EM10 mk1 a couple of years ago for under £100 to complement my GH5 which I'd had for a while. It takes great images but it's a bit battered and worn and wouldn't cope with bad weather which can happen very quickly here. I bought and EPL8 which is even more compact but is rarely used then last year I bought anEM10 mk3 for about £175 which looks like brand new. I find I only use my GH5 when I need it for video and then I will take photos with it as well. I love my EM10, it does everything I need and more.

Just picked up an Em10ii today, with kit lens and extra battery, plus a bag, very low SC, for the equivalent of 150 quid. Owned one several years ago, decided I needed to reacquire one! Seeing as I have a lot of vintage glass and M43 adaptors for using with my GH4, they all now double across with the EM10ii.

The EM10 MK2 and that 45mm lens are a fantastic combo, had mine 3 years now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I use it (which is often) I still use an old Nikon D7200 too but find I reach for the Olympus as often if not more than the APSc

[nexusadmintablet]

I owned the em10 MK2 since 2015 and love it. The versions after it have been a let down so I'm sticking with it.

[jpprindle]

Great video, my man. Olympus been cookin' up straight digital magic since the E-1 in 2003 (I own that one, too ;)

[rltcovers]

Thanks to you and your videos, I started taking photographs, all thanks to the video about canon 400d😁

[deanrobertnoble]

Love the Olympus range of Om-D cameras. Settled on the Em5iii which i love but i also have the little Em10ii as well. Great cameras; solid, well built and great image quality.
The one thing it retains, that has been removed from my Em5iii, is the ‘My Sets’ feature. Some people don’t like the idea and implementation but for me, to be able to apply full setups to either the dial or Fn buttons is awesome!

Great video; thankyou!

[MowMent]

Seems like you are loving Olympus, micro four thirds huh 🎉
Very interesting perspective of yours, also beatiful shots!
