ePhotozine tested the Olympus E-M10IV and concluded:
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is a compact, lightweight mirrorless camera with a vast array of features and abilities. There’s very little to limit you in your pursuit for great photography. If you’re wanting to travel in poor weather conditions then the E-M5 III is likely to be a better choice thanks to weather-sealing, but apart from this, the E-M10 IV is an extremely capable camera. The handling of the camera is particularly good as well, with a well-thought-out handgrip, and dual command dials making it easy and quick to change settings.
There are a number of advanced shooting features that make it easier to get night photos, and low-light photos will be exposed correctly thanks to Live composite / Live time. The in-camera image stabilisation helps with slower shutter speeds and works with any lens. Speaking of lenses, you’ll find there’s a huge range of Micro Four Thirds lenses available, with bright primes, all the way to long telephoto zooms available, many quite affordable compared to some.
Whilst it may not be the go-to choice for low-light photography, it is very capable of producing pleasing portrait images, with face and eye detection working very well. For more resolution, you could look at other cameras, or you could look at the E-M5 III with its high-resolution multi-shot mode, something that isn’t available on the E-M10 IV. High-speed shooting is possible with up to 15fps continuous shooting available, although the weather-sealing of the E-M5 III and E-M1 III make them more suited for wildlife etc.
While there may be questions about Olympus’ future, this doesn’t stop this camera being able to produce some excellent looking photos, and there is still a huge range of lenses available, with additional lenses still due to be released in the future.
