![]() It is a combo of things actually that no other camera manufacturer has been able to accomplish as of yet besides Olympus. I have finally figured it out though.as to just what that special thing is. I have said it a million times about these Olympus bodies but they have something about them that are special. The E-M5, E-P5, E-M1 are stellar, and I mean that 100%. ALL of these cameras have been wonderful to use and to shoot but especially these new camera bodies Olympus have been releasing over the past couple of years. The PEN series.yes, I have shot with them all (The E-P5 is the best of PEN’s) and of course the OM-D series all the way to the top of the Micro 4/3 heap with the Professional E-M1. From the OM film cameras to the 1st real flagship E-1 digital back in the day. “Orgasim Clinic” – what happens in vegas stays in vegas… Basically, when using the 12-40 and the E-M10 I would highly recommend the accessory grip as the body is a little small for the Zoom as is. It did have some faults but only in the handling. The Olympus was so much fun, so fast and so GOOD that I did not want to stop using it! Seriously. I did end up bringing along my Leica M 240 and 50 1.5 Nokton but only fired off 6 shots. So one morning Debby and I took a 4 hour drive to Las Vegas and decided to just walk around and shoot the scenery. It is IMO, the only way to test a camera for what it is meant to be used for. I always prefer real world use of a camera and have been doing these types of reviews and write ups for almost 6 years now. Please note! This is not a normal tech “review” but it will be more of my thoughts using this camera over a weekend along with the photos I was able to casually snap. No need to worry or stress over lenses to use or take with. WHY? Well, I have not yet reviewed this lens and figured it would be a nice test of the camera and lens. I ended up deciding to just shoot this camera over a weekend with the Olympus 12-40 Pro Zoom. It surprised me really as I was expecting it to be a little “laggy” seeing that it is a “mini”model that is cheaper. It felt solid, booted up quickly and had that blazing Olympus AF speed I have come to love and trust. When I opened it up I was impressed with the look, the style and the design.which is basically just like the OM-D E-M5, just in a mini format. ![]() So one day I received a UPS box from the wonderful B&H Photo who sent me the little black Olympus E-M10 to check out and review. This lens is truly a pro zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture across the range.ĪLL images in this review are JPEGS shot with the E-M10 and 12-40 2.8 Lens! The IQ is stellar. The color reproduction is rich. The E-M10 and 12-40 2.8 – This combo is lightning fast, sharp, amazing prime IQ and the very 1st zoom I have ever really wanted to buy in the mirror less world. “well, if it is as great as the E-M5 in use, it will be a BARGAIN of epic proportions”! Then I realized that it had even better performance than the E-M5 and equaled the E-M1 for IQ and Af Speed. Then I saw the cost of only $699 and thought. ![]() I glossed over it and while it looked cool I had doubts about why anyone would want it over an E-m5. Well, that was the question I had when it was announced. These are three Micro 4/3 mirrorless models that are truly state of the art and can easily provide anyone with gorgeous quality photos while offering speed, build and features that would make any shutter bug happy and many other mirror less camera companies a little nervous. The PEN E-P5 is fantastic and beautiful and one of my faves of all time in Micro 4/3. I mean, was Olympus going the way of Panasonic who in the past released cheap, dumbed down tiny bodies just to make a quick sale and find a market for their camera bodies? Let’s face it, the OM-D E-M5 is stellar. With Olympus continually being on top of their own mirrorless camera game I admit…I was a bit hesitant when the E-M10 was announced.
