The funny things is, apart from how awesome oly is; those are has absolutely have no idea about that camera….
$800 for an entry level camera? Get real. The camera itself is nice, but not for $800!! Not only is the better featured GX7 less expensive, but they have trouble competeing with the G6 and its high end video, and that camera is $300 less!!!
Dont forget that Panasonic kit lenses tend to be better as well. Its no surprise Olympus is hemmorraghing money.
Wonk and Pink…please back down on the Panatoidism…
The GX 7 is more expensive……
You would think the GX7 would be more expensive since it’s a much better camera, but US Amazon has the GX7 at 25US less… Either kit or body only. I’m not saying the EM10 is a bad camera… It’s a fine entry level camera, but it’s WAY WAY overpriced.
lovely US price politics
en eu there is 599eur for E-M10 and 999 for GX7 …BODY ONLY …thats the list price we get …ok right now you can find deals/rabate for GX7 body but never reach 599eur
Amazon now bunches new and used together on there listing. The cheapest listing I see for a new camera with kit lens is $1097.99.
I think you are looking at the used price. Price at B&H is about the same.
I don’t know where you get your prices. E-M10 is around $700 and so is G6. GX7 is closer to $1000. Besides, E-M10 may be entry level in the OMD series, but overall it has quite impressive specs and features for the price. Metal body, two control dials, IBIS, built-in EVF, tilting touch screen. For the price, E-M10 is really hard to beat.
Thank you very much…Trinavi….the panny boyz and girls are in here spreading non-truths!!!!!
Check US Amazon pricing today. Thats where I get my prices.
Look closely. Your price is for a used GX7 camera.
I’m amazed at the fact that these guys are considered co-called camera gurus around the web and yet they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, worse yet, on of them actually OWNS an EM5 and still has trouble remembering the specs and whatnot, it’s as if someone had given them the camera just 5 minutes before the video and they had to improvise their dialogue with whatever logos they found printed outside the box of the camera.
I think he knows, but asks questions to give the other guy a chance to inform the public.
Why not explain things straight away then ? I’ve seen some of their previous videos and they’re pretty consistent in their lack of knowledge around mirrorless and m4/3 in particular, it’s like watching a newcomer after their first week with a mirrorless camera, do they even read the manuals or forums for that matter ? if what you say turns out to be true then they really make an effort to make it seem as if they’ve rarely used these cameras. It’s great that they’re even talking about this new camera trend but the way they present these dialogues don’t project much confidence on the format, it’s as if they were talking about their sons’s videogames.
Not a credible review of the E-M10. No one in their right mind and familiar with the Olympus menu system would try to configure the camera and the Super Control Panel (SCP) via the touch screen. That is for TAKING photos. I have the E-M10 as well as the E-M1 and so many PEN camera bodies that I often lose count. The E-M10 is destined to become one of my all time favorite cameras alongside the Nikkormat and the Nikon D-60. All of these have the essentials, compact size, and simplicity. The E-M1 has more features but it also has noticeably greater weight. The MFT system has spoiled me with respect to size and weight … and the E-M10 supports this in spades.
Is this thread REALLY full of fanboys dfending Olympus prices? LAWL!
No. Just antiolympus fanboys who complain about stuff they don’t need.
So I get that the heat dissipation with 5-axis IBIS pretty much rules out anything but rudimentary video, but why doesn’t this camera (with 3-axis IBIS) have decent video? Even if it falls apart a little easier, how about more than just one codec??? I get that few companies can compete with Panasonic on video, and I don’t expect them to, but how about throwing a bone to people who are NOT videographers but still want half-decent quality for personal use? This is marketed as an entry level consumer camera, you would think basic video options would be a no brainer.
