Comparing the Specifications of the Olympus E-M10 Mark IV, III, and II

Olympus recently announced a new version of its OM-D, E-M10 camera, the E-M10 Mark IV.

For its size, the E-M10s are a very functional camera. I often use my E-M10 Mark II as a second camera on my nature photography shoots as the E-M10 fits in my jacket or vest pocket. This is very handy if I’m photographing birds with my E-M1 III and 300 f/4 and I want to take a macro or landscape photograph.

It’s also great if you are going on an outing (dinner, shopping, farm market, etc.) where you can just slide the camera and a small lens like the Olympus 14-42 EZ lens in to your pocket.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark IV Biggest Upgrades

Here are some of the biggest upgrades and feature enhancements of the E-M10 Mark IV over the Mark III and Mark II.

Upgrade to the TruePIC VIII processor
Upgrade from 17MP to 20MP
.5 stop improvement in image stabilization
Improved Continuous AF using the algorithm from higher end OM-D models
A new panning Panorama scene mode (much like the iPhone)
USB Charging
