In at least one commentary about Vivian Maier's work, they noted that the waist-level finder on her Rolleiflex TLR gave many of her photos a unique, low-angle perspective that she used to good effect. A tilt-screen like the EM10ii's gives you that same perspective in digital.

I love mine too. It became maybe my favorite camera after a few weeks shooting with it. Great ergonomics, no crippled features, lots of metal, amazing IBIS. One of those devices that were too good for their time and the manufactur backpedaled on with successors. Ordered a second one to keep as a spare. My Fuji gear will co-exist but MFT is such a great system with many lens options.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the E-m10 II. Love your enthusiasm - that I can easily understand (EM1 mark II owner).

Great shots. This Camara is impressive. I may have to add one of these to the collection. Been hearing more about it.

The EM10 MK2 and that 45mm lens are a fantastic combo, had mine 3 years now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I use it (which is often) I still use an old Nikon D7200 too but find I reach for the Olympus as often if not more than the APSc

Thanks for what you do! I'm not much of a street photographer but you definitely inspire me to get out and try it more!!!

To be honest I aren’t a street photographer either or at least I wasn’t until a few years ago. It’s something I really enjoy though🖖

Lol, you remind me of me, 40 years ago 😱 my favourite camera? The OM1 mk2 with 24mm prime. 😎

I recently bought an e-m10 and felt in love with it too! It is so much fun to shoot with such a capable tiny little camera 😍 I wonder if stepping up to an e-m5 mark…2 or 3 brings much extra interesting features…

Your video inspired my to go pick one of these up. I found a mint Mark iii body and picked up an Opteka 50mm F2 lens for it. Should have it this weekend. Really needed something for the street photography. My EOS 7Dmark ii is kind of a tank. I also like the stealthiness of the Olympus viewer. Great video.

I got the EM10mii couple years ago used and love using it.

I’m still learning with my E-M10 mkII and love it.

I love mine too!! ❤❤ I've been using a Fujifilm XT30 for the last 2 years and I bought a cheap second hand Olympus OMD-10ii for my husband to use in the hopes of getting him interested in photography. But now I'm using it because I just love the images it produces and I love the feel of it. My poor old Fuji is feeling quite neglected and I'm not even sure my husband will get the chance to get his hands on the Olympus now!! 😂😂

Em10 over Xt30? interesting. Do you know why? What is better? I would assume Xt30 with hybrid AF, nice color filters might win.

Just picked up an Em10ii today, with kit lens and extra battery, plus a bag, very low SC, for the equivalent of 150 quid. Owned one several years ago, decided I needed to reacquire one! Seeing as I have a lot of vintage glass and M43 adaptors for using with my GH4, they all now double across with the EM10ii.

I bought am EM10 mk1 a couple of years ago for under £100 to complement my GH5 which I'd had for a while. It takes great images but it's a bit battered and worn and wouldn't cope with bad weather which can happen very quickly here. I bought and EPL8 which is even more compact but is rarely used then last year I bought anEM10 mk3 for about £175 which looks like brand new. I find I only use my GH5 when I need it for video and then I will take photos with it as well. I love my EM10, it does everything I need and more.

Great video, my man. Olympus been cookin' up straight digital magic since the E-1 in 2003 (I own that one, too ;)

Great video David. I've had and sadly sold the EM10-II. Wow, do I regret that... currently looking for another one! I have the EM1.3 and OM5 but the EM10-II was just so pocketable (even more than the OM5) and despite owning so many FF, APS-C and MFT cameras over the years, the EM10-II is definitely my favourite! I thought I wanted the flip out screen on my tiny walkabout, hence selling it and getting the OM5, but there have been several times since selling that I miss the tilt instead of flip out and the even smaller body, especially for street photography. Matched with DXO Pure Raw 3 the EM10-II produced amazing results for it's side and age. Can't wait to get another one. Mine was silver and I'll pick up another silver one if possible.

I gave mine to my youngest son so thankfully I still have access to it. It’s just a joy to use isn’t it? Have a great weekend mate🖖

I have this camera because the other cameras were hurting my neck and causing back ache . This little gem has two primes and a kit lens . For wide angle I switch to my phone . The two primes work great for portraits or street work . So, what is there to dislike ? In a word : nothing ! I travel light and use a Billingham digital bag . The primes are sigma 30 and 60 mm 2.8 lenses . I preferred walkabout focal length in full frame terms is 55mm, as I find 50 a little too wide . I shoot mostly jpeg and process everything in Snapseed on the phone . Easy to post and forward on . I create several photo books each year. I found your discovery of this camera had been similar to my own . I had liked the camera when it first appeared and procrastinating about buying it for sometime . When I did , I bought it direct from Olympus Germany at half price with an extended warranty of three years . It is hard to resist a bargain and the camera bag , the prime lenses were all gifts . Again , another bargain . The key thing I like most is the tilt screen . I have no interest in video and using a swing out articulated screen . If there were something I would have included in making the camera and it would have been phase detect focusing . All cameras should have that as standard . The camera has loads of added extras included , but I do not use the art filters . What the camera also does well is setting up the controls for key functions . With the twist of the dial I have monochrome and it’s next to P dial . I could go on, but you should have loads of material to make many more videos on this topic . Finally , the menu are not difficult once you know how to use them . Olympus should have produced a hardback handbook for the camera , but a digital one works fine. Thank you , once again , for making these videos .

I love my EM10 mkII i use it for macro work (Flora & Fauna) and Holiday snaps and use my EM 1 mkIII for the bigger lenses for wildlife.

The EM 5 series is like the features of the EM 1 series packed into a EM 10 body haha. My first camera was an EM 10 II as well, later bought the EM 5 III due to the AF and the articulating screen. Otherwise I really love the EM 10 II. It's real sneaky and discreet for various types of photography..

With some hindsight, I have two regrets in regards of the M43 system, the first is that I looked down my nose on the GF1 back in 2009 and instead bought a Pentax K7, which lived most of its life with me on a shelf, and that I disregarded the E-M10MkII back in 2015, when I finally got into the system. That said, the GX7 i bought then was a very nice camera in and by itself and offers a logical and very easy menue system, something none of the Olympus models do. I even sold my first foray into the brand. a TG-6 in disgust after just 4 months, and that had a "light" version of it. It took two years of fiddeling with a second hand Stylus1S and a dirt cheap deal which I bought based on the lens that came with it, before I grasped the menues enough to be less than red faced bothered with them.

I agree. I have an em10 mk1 and mk2 as well as a em1 mk1 which is pretty much similar in size to the Sony A7 but I prefer using the em10s and gx85 or gx7 as everyday cameras.

Hi Dave , I’m late to this video but agree with your sentiments on the em10 mkii. I recently purchased the ecg-3 hand grip for mine and it’s transformed the handling without adding much weight. I also prefer the flip up screen to the articulated one on the EM1 mkii. Also I need to thank you, I know you had an issue with the flip screen cable when you got yours and you mentioned you fixed it quite easily. Well mine developed the same problem a few weeks ago. I bit the bullet and got the replacement cable. Found two vids on KZread and took my time with the repair. It’s now working perfectly once again.

Unfortunately OMDS now specializes in much heavier and more expensive cameras and bulky lenses with long focal lengths especially for wildlife.

I have had the E-M5 .1 and 5.2 - both wonderful cameras - the absolute winner feature for me was the splash proof WR build, and coupled with any PRO lenses then the kit was good for anything short of underwater. But have moved to an E-M1 MkII (which has been underwater twice and survived!) but decided to get a PEN E-PL9 which I believe is close to being an E-M10.2 without the in-body EVF.

I've had the E-PL7 from when it was new. It is the sibling to the E-M10ii with the same stuff inside, and both have a fair bit of stuff pinched from the then-forthcoming E-M5ii which is the sibling of the PEN-F, which I both have, and the GH4, G7 and G9. Guess which camera I have used most? Right! My E-PL7. It has been in regular use since I got it to replace the too small GM1. The GH4 and G7 are essentially retired. My E-M5ii has been effectively retired since I more recently acquired the PEN-F. The G9 is a G9, big thing, does anything. But my E-PL7 is still in regular use, for 10y now since 2013. The E-PL7 has that AP2 port for the VF4 LVF and other accessories (incl mic in), as does its facelift E-PL8, But after that the Pen-Lite got dumbed down and plasticised. Shame really as the E-PL10 happens to be the best selling mft in Japan, but has lost its quality feel. One thing I do miss on the E-PL7 is a minimum shutter speed which the PEN-F and the G9 have. I don't always want movement blur and will want a faster shutter then. Not insurmountable, Manual mode or Program.

Mine normally wears the PZ14-42 and that is all I usually need on it. My long lens for it is the tiny PZ45-175. No it cannot do everything but perhaps surprisingly its photos are as good as the latest offerings. Ooh and I've just managed to source a SEMA-1 mic+input for the AP2.

The af system is similar if not the same as the em10 mk ii

Have gone from Lumix MFT to Sony APS-C and back again. Purchased my second GX80 last year but in my old age, want to step up again. The older Olympus cameras keep popping up on KZread as bargain classics, so much so that I have just purchased (yet to receive) the E-M1 Mark II after watching some great revival reviews. Stepping up my lenses as well. Going to splash the cash for the 40-150mm F2.8. I already have the Lumix Leica 12-60mm which is a great lens but I might exchange that now for something less long and a little wider. Not decided what to do with my GX80. Might be better to exchange for a small PEN and slap on a pancake or use it to pay for some of my new gear. I'm not a vlogger so love the flip-up-down screens. On paper, I hate the fully rotating ones, so looking forward to that new experience!

I own both a EPM2 as well as GRD IV/GRI and with a 14mm lumix fitted the GR lens extrudes slightly more than the Olympus. Weight too, the Olympus is slightly heavier because the battery lasts longer. Ricoh's have terrible battery life, and I often carry up to four extra DB65 batteries. The speed of use benchmark here is how fast each camera is in terms of turning on and taking a picture. The E-PM2 is lightning fast as there is no lens to pop out. It’s simply the better camera.

great vid, I wonder if anyone can advise me, I have a em10 mk iv. it's just recently began to say 'card error' with every card put into it, even brand new ones, all the cards work in my other Olympus....any clues?

I’m no camera tech, but that sounds like a possible card slot error. Perhaps look in there and see if there’s any obvious dirt that could be interfering with the connections and give it a little blast with an air blower or if you’re using micro sd cards with an adapter try a different adapter. I’m not familiar with the mark iv so I’m not sure if it’s a known issue or just an unfortunate one off. Thanks for watching and I hope you get it sorted🖖

I tend to prefer the rangefinder ones to DSLR when it comes to Olympus, particularly epl8 or older when you can use the articulating EVF. Unfortunately the new OM system takeover isn't very interested in developing the rangefinder PEN line. Anyway, all your videos are shot with GH5?

Most were shot with either the Em1 mkii or Dji Osmo pocket until a couple of days ago when the GH5 arrived 🖖

@wckoek I’m actually shooting with it today but I’m not sure if there’ll be a video. Definitely will be in the future though once I learn how to use the thing🖖

If you enjoy using the gx80 just keep going. If something works for you then there’s no reason to change. The Olympus cameras look cool for sure, but if you’re happy with what the Gx80 is giving you, stick with it 🖖

If you or know anyone with a Olympus CCD Four Thirds cameras it be interesting to do a CCD VS CMOS battle with Olympus cameras jpegs right out of the camera shoot raw+jpeg.

Not sure why I only just saw this comment but that’s an awesome idea. I’ve been curious about the Olympus 4/3 cameras for a while 🖖

Do you think that Olympus is a good camera for videos, what do you think of the 16MB Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mirrorless MFT, is it a good option to start making videos? Thank you, I hope you can answer my question?? which is the best lens portrait ?Thanks for your videos

It depends on what you want to use the videos for. If you thinking of starting KZread, pretty much any camera will do the job, I started this channel using a Samsung phone and many of my videos even now are shot on the Dji Osmo pocket 1. If it’s for something more like wedding videography, you should be able to use the E-M1 as long as you have sufficient light and a good lens. Best lens for portrait on mft again depends on how you like to shoot. The 45mm f1.8 Olympus is nice and the 75mm f 1.8 is also well regarded, but there are a lot of great lenses for the system as well as from third party lenses. Thanks for watching 🖖

Hey Dave, have you tried the 17 1.8 yet?

@DavidFlowerOfficial

I haven’t. I don’t shoot wide that much for street, but I have looked at the 17mm as a video lens. For street I rarely go wider that 50mm ff equivalent

I have it

usb charge, mic jack and plastic body .. I've missed my Fuji x100f for these drawbacks

Yeah the lack of mic input is a pain for video though I almost always record my audio externally anyway. Although it’s light it is actually a magnesium alloy body, but it does lack the weather sealing to go with it. Thanks for watching 🖖

Why the 'focus' on the 10 rather than the 5, which is the same size. Is it because you can pick up 10 at great prices?

@DavidFlowerOfficial

A couple of reasons really, the main one being that I don’t own the em5 but also when I used one there was something about it I didn’t like. I can’t even tell you what it was but it just felt wrong compared to the em10. Maybe it was the extra weight since the 5 is about 20% heavier, who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

What lense would you recommend for street photography

@DavidFlowerOfficial

4 ай бұрын

It depends entirely on the look you want to achieve and how you like to shoot. I don’t really shoot wider than 50mm full frame equivalent so 25 on m4/3 or about 35 on apsc. My favourite prime on m4/3 is the 45mm f1.8, but lately I’ve mostly been using the 12-60 zoom lens for the extra flexibility 🖖

Thanks after much consideration I went with the 25mm f1.8 thanks for your reply

The E-M10II is a really good "everyday" camera. When it comes to a more capable camera, I have a Pen F digital, which not only offers better dynamic range, less noise and 20 MP, it also has the pixel-shift hi-res mode with 80 MP resolution (that I actually use for "scanning" my negatives) - in a small, unobtrusive and neatly designed body! When looked closer, m43 (Olympus/OMDS and Panasonic) has some really unique cameras and lenses on offer. Since I got into m43, any other system is of far less appeal to me (other than Leica, that is 😂).

Yeah the high res shot in the em1 mk ii is a great feature. I just picked up a GH5 to round out my set up🖖

Sadly not the best. Em5 mk2 is better, because of weather sealing 😉 never let the weather limit your passion 💪

I’ve used the em10 in the rain without issue despite its lack of weather sealing. That’s what umbrellas are for 😁
