I always wonder even if we know that the newer Olympus model takes slightly better photos than Olympus' older model. Most people will be only seeing the final image in realtime and not have the other photo for a comparison. Plus you have the other factors that come into play when shooting that can affect image quality. I don't look at photos that I like and say that was taken with so and so camera and the f stop and shutter speed and lens mm was that I need to know. Great photos have been taken with film cameras for over 100 years + with various brands and very few times did iI need to know what camera snd the setup to enjoy the photos.

The original EM10 with the optional grip is a fine camera as well.

I will not upgrade! Its not worth it and in my eyes not a good move. One could argue if an upgrade from E-M10 MkII to a E-M5 MkIII or a E-M1 MkII was a good option. But upgrade from an entry level camera to another entry level type is not the way for me, unless my E-MII brakes down (in which case I will be done for good with Olympus).

@perandersdahlstrom2846 6 years ago

I’m thinking of ”upgrading” from E-M5 mk 2 to E-M10 mk 4 just because I miss the tilt screen from my first OM-D ( E-M5 mk 1 )

@aitchessanon4312 6 years ago

An excellent comparison, Peter - very enjoyable, thank you. One thing worth mentioning, I think, is that on the E-M10 Mark IV, Mark IIIs and Mark III (as well as the E-PL9 and E-PL10) the traditional full version of Live Composite does still remain, accessed the same way as on earlier models, even though they also have the simplified version under the AP position of the mode dial. That’s quite a surprise since most of the other AP mode features replace the traditional versions. Of course, the silent shutter mode makes a very welcome return to the PASM modes on the E-M10 Mark IV and Mark IIIs, plus the E-PL10 - though all three also retain the simplified version in the AP mode for anyone who wants it. These three models have a nice extra ability that only previously appeared on more expensive recent models in the range, starting with the Pen-F - the ability the use flash with silent shutter. In currently-made mirrorless cameras, that’s unique to Olympus (though the discontinued Nikon 1 and Pentax Q cameras could also do it). Top sync speed for silent shutter is only 1/20 on these and the Pen-F, but it can still come in handy (the E-M1 Mark II, Mark III, E-M1X and E-M5 Mark III are better still as they can sync up to 1/50 with silent shutter). All eight Olympus models I mentioned with this feature also allow you to re-enable the AF illuminator and beeper in silent mode if desired. Nice little additions, I find.

I must admit that it's pretty wasy to get lost in thexmenus on the EM10 mark ii. The Mark iv looks simplervto use with lots of options along the bottom of the screen in Advanced mode. The mark ii autofoxus is a bit erak in lower light or low contrast and can oscillate annoyingly but it's a gorgeous camera.

@wahabdilawar 6 years ago

Very nice video. Very informative. I have been using the EM 10 II for 2+ years and I absolutely love it. I have only 3 grudges against it.
1. It doesn't take exposure from the focus point, even when spot metering option is selected. That's very frustrating... sometimes.
2. It doesn't have a mic Jack.
3. The AF can be really struggling at times.
I still think that it is an excellent camera and I will keep using it until it dies on me.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.

@bosamuelsson3052 5 years ago

Thank You,Peter. I followed your advoiced and bougth m10 markIV for my travel in the futurue. I like this camera as compement to my m1markII.

@bikeandsee1647 4 years ago

Loved your view points.

@VevoSux 6 years ago

Thanks for this comparison Peter. Honestly my EM10MK2 is better than my G9 hahah

@okimurafranck7672 5 years ago

what a cool review enjoying it with a cup of hot coffee

@davebellamy4867 5 years ago (edited)

I just LOVE the smoother black finish on the Mark II. I certainly like the mode dial on the Mark iv better. For some reason the black camera looks smaller than the chrome one but it isn't!

@momchilyordanov8190 6 years ago

I had an M10 II. Changed the system now, but if I was still an Olympus user, I would make this upgrade. The new one is better in several areas. And not that expensive.

Nice comparison 👍

Excellent video 😮!

@RobShootPhotos 6 years ago

I look forward to seeing the tests of continuous autofocus, maybe even against the E-M5 III.

@RobShootPhotos 6 years ago

Enjoyed the video! Robin Wong suggested that the sensor could be from the PenF but it had an older processor. It would be nice to see how the E-M5 III, Pen F and the E-M10 IV match up.

@n057828 6 years ago (edited)

Thankyou got it for daughter 2

@MichaelGerrard 6 years ago

Price-wise right now I don't find the IV is a good price. Where I am the price for the 10 IV + kit lens is 999 (USD equiv.). The E-M5 III body only is just a little more. Plus, the real killer is the price of the 10 II + kit lens, just 333 on sale now. If I were looking for such a camera the 10 II is a compelling option.
