Product Overview

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is an affordable mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2020, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 20 MP (5184 x 3888) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV has a 200 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The camera's 15.0 fps burst rate can serve professionals and enthusiasts equally well.
The E-M10 Mark IV 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 4.5 stops of IBIS.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The Olympus E-M10 Mark IV captures excellent images with a few sacrifices to performance, build quality, and controls. The 20.3 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor captures sharp images with good color. Video is available at 4Kp30 and offers the same solid color and detail as the images. Olympus is currently negotiating a deal to sell its imaging division.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • 5-axis sensor-shift autofocus
  • Compact body
  • Good build quality
Cons
  • Lacks image stabilization
  • No mic port

With its in-body stabilizer, the E-M10 Mark IV is a solid option for those looking for easily captured, high-quality 4K video footage. The feature set isn't the most robust (nor would we expect it to be), but the out-of-camera footage using the 'Natural' profile is generally really nice. For the most part, continuous autofocus is solid when shooting video.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • In-body stabilizer
  • Long-lasting battery
Cons
  • Not the most robust autofocus system
  • No microphone or headphone jacks

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is a fine starter for photographers beginning with the Micro Four Thirds system. It includes 5-axis IBIS, a rare feature in starter cameras, and is backed with a fully realized lens system. The camera records 4K at 24 or 30fps, and can go to 120fps if you drop down to 1080p resolution.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • 5-axis IBIS
  • Fully realized lens system
Cons
  • Flip-under screen isn't great for vlogging
  • No external microphone

Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is good for travel photography. It delivers impressive image quality and performs well even in low light. While its autofocus system is excellent at tracking moving objects, it struggles to track faces. Video quality is great in 4k and decent in FHD.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Great dynamic range
  • Good continuous shooting speed
  • In-body image stabilization
  • Excellent photo stabilization
Cons
  • Limited frame rate options
  • No microphone or headphone jack
  • Not rated to be weather-sealed

Reviewers from techradar have found:
The E-M10 Mark IV is the most photo-centric camera in its category. While its rivals are more geared towards video shooters, this cameras wants to be a great stills camera first and foremost. We were really impressed with this camera's basic kit lens – its 14-42mm pancake lens option is a fantastic starting place. It offers a versatile focal range that covers everything from landscapes to portraits.
Pros
  • Compact size
  • Excellent image quality
  • Excellent battery life
Cons
  • No USB-C port
  • No microphone input or USB-A port
