Customer Review

The OM-D 10 is very compact, meticulously crafted and has a very chic look. Unfortunately the grip of my hands is shaped a bit too low, but there is a bolt-on auxiliary handle, which does not contain batteries and hefty 70 costs.
Included is a very large charger, which claimed the power cord together almost twice as much space as the camera. One charge of the battery in the camera via USB is not possible.

The EVF is excellent, clear, bright and suitable with almost no lag, even for Gleitsichtbrillenträger. The LCD has more than 1 million pixels a very good resolution and can be tilted 45 ° downwards and 90 ° upwards. When the LCD is tilted, the EVF is turned off. Switching LCD / EVF is otherwise automatically via sensor (of course configurable).

The 3-axis image stabilizer IBIS works, as with Olympus usual excellent and is like almost everything in the camera can be configured (From, vertical panning, horiz. Panning, auto)
In general, the OM-D EM10 is accustomed extremely individually configurable as Oly that something small 4-seater seesaw around the OK button is not, as with other manufacturers printed with symbols, but largely configurable. The result is that after a long period of non-use, the user newly incorporated again only need ... the price of the enormous configuration possibilities.

The built Sony sensor for excellent picture quality. According DxOMark he besizt a dynamic range of 12.3 panels, which is more than any Canon sensor provides. This way you can with suitable software create HDR images from a Raw. For this I use DxO Optics Pro, without tricks, just develop the Raw as "One Shot HDR". Under customer images I have an example of recording stored (unfortunately only visible when the article is available).

The camera has enormous potential to change many parameters that inspire especially the jpg -Photographers, curves, color, sharpness, brightness, contrast, just to name a few. This jpg images can be processed later in the camera from the Raw with different parameters again.

Another feature is Livebulb, which can be observed in long-term view of the emergence of the image on the camera and when the exposure is sufficient can stop recording. However, the multiple readout of the sensor is to increase the noise at an ISO level. Personally I prefer test shots with ISO 6400 and then take the exposure time by 5 for the final ISO 200- recording.
For the first time in Olympus Focuspeaking is realized, while the edges sharp structures are selectively highlighted in white or black color. Very useful for manual Focussieren.

The Bracketing- functions of EM 10 are on a professional level, bracketing nit 2,3,5 or 7 shots with up to 1EV spread per recording.
In addition, flash and ISO Fashion bracketing is possible. With the latter, you can activate with a shot on request, all art filters, the image is thus developed several times in the camera with the appropriate filters ... a nice gimmick!

Video I hardly use, although capturing an image during video recording by pressing the shutter button is a useful thing.
Additional features double exposures, or addition of several pictures by recording etc ... all things which I personally prefer to kill the PC, but wem`s like :-)
Time lapse recording, the optional directly produce a film certainly useful things.

The touchscreen is for me personally not that important, but a nice feature.

The small flash is integrated and, important to me, remotable, it can control a "unleashed" flash by light pulses.

The camera has, like almost all new models over WIFI functions, where the most important functions like Focus point, aperture, time and appropriate lenses and the zoom can be remotely controlled from the smart device. In addition, the images geotags can be added via GPS-capable Smartphon.

Conclusion: a very pretty compact MFT camera with almost professional functions and very good image quality. The star trigger there to load because of the inability over USB. When I go on short trips, I am afraid to lug adapter and power cord. Otherwise, I could load the camera via laptop I always have with anyway, via USB. For people who do not bother a very empfehlendswerte 5 Star Camera with good price / performance ratio.
