Olympus has chosen to keep harping on the mix made up of vintage and SLR-like for its new mirrorless Micro Four Thirds. The new Olympus OM-D E-M10 becomes the most accessible of the series OM-D, but fishing with both hands from the set of the older sisters. The 16 megapixel sensor is the same as OM-D E-M5, while the range-topping E-M1 small steals the TreuPic VII processor and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Compared to older sisters offers a stabilizer on the sensor more classic (three-axis instead of the 5 E and E-M1-M5), and does not offer the accessories. The camera focuses on small size and lower price compared to the sisters to get noticed, both in the Olympus range, both in the mirrorless segment.
Compacts are also lenses that Olympus launches with the machine: a pancake bright M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f1.8, which puts an angle of view of a normal on full frame, and the new collapsible kit zoom M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14 EZ-42mm f 3.5-5.6. Very particular and then the optical-cap 9mm F8 Fish-Eye.
The 16 megapixel sensor goes up to maximum sensitivity of ISO 25600 and the car pua shoot gusts of up to 8 frames per second (3.5 fps with autofocus tracking with active). In the upper projection that hosts the viewfinder, the camera also incorporates a pop-up flash.
The resolution electronic viewfinder has 1,440,000 dots and works at 120fps. Thanks to the proximity sensor the camera automatically switches images to display 3.0″ with tilt mechanism.
Do not miss the Art Filters with the machine, its features launched by Olympus mirrorless in the world and now have become a must in the industry.
The camera has two adjustment rings, as well as a mode dial and several customizable buttons. The Wi-Fi connectivity (coupling with the smartphone can be done easily via QR code) lets addition to the instant sharing of photos, even the remote control by mobile phone or smartphone.
The price will be one of its strengths: the body in the U.S. will cost $699, while the version with zoom 14-42mm kit will cost $100 more.
