Product Overview

Olympus PEN E-PL10 is a mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2019, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 16 MP (4608 x 3456) resolution.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The 14.1 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The PEN E-PL10 comes with 121 autofocus points. Those who intend to use the camera for video work will be glad to find that the camera comes with 3.5 stops of IBIS.

Reviewers from dpreview have found:
Olympus PEN E-PL10 is an attractive entry-level mirrorless camera that does many things well. Despite its low price, it feels well-built, and we like how it feels in the hand. Despite having a dedicated video recording button, you have to set the mode dial to the video position in order to capture 4K (it'll only capture 1080p in every other shooting mode) Autofocus is snappy and accurate in single AF mode.
Pros
  • Good image quality
  • Sleek design
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • No USB charging
  • No 3-axis image stabilization

The Olympus PEN E-PL10 is a competent and stylish entry-level camera. It's a camera that you want to hold, and one that injects fun into the experience of making pictures. Users of any ability can enjoy the choice of auto shooting modes or manual control. The LCD tilt-touchscreen functions well, especially for the auto shooting mode.
Pros
  • Great image quality
  • In-body image stabilization
  • Good range of lenses
Cons
  • No viewfinder
