E-M10 shooting experience by Dpreview (and Olympus Interview).

Share

Dpreview posted the .Olympus OM-D E-M10 shooting experience and studio test:

Overall it feels like an E-M1 Light – in both the literal and metaphorical sense. It’s a little less weight to carry, a little more space in my bag saved. Some features have been cut down (though not many, considering the price difference) but what’s left feels like an incredibly fun and responsive device, a little more than you’d expect from a casual go-everywhere camera, pushing on towards semi-pro territory.

And they also published an Interview with Hirofumi Imano of Olympus:
– but we’re actively working to optimize video performance in our lineup of both cameras and lenses.
– more of our customers in the US and Europe are vocal about wanting more advanced video functionality than in Japan and Asia, and our Asian customers are more vocal about ergonomics – things like how the dials feel. They’re very picky.

Interesting Imano says there are a couple of reasons why mirrorless isn’t selling very well in Europe and US:
– Perception that cameras from bigger brands are better
– Perception that bigger sensor size is better (for a long time mirrorless was MFT only and after APS-C sensor only)
– It would help if Canon and Nikon would make serious mirrorless cameras
