The E-M10 II is the successor to the original E-M10, and Olympus's new mid-range Micro Four Thirds camera. Offering a raft of features in a compact body, the E-M10 II has everyone in the DPReview office quite charmed, and our impressions of performance and image quality so far have been very positive. We've been using an E-M10 II for some time now, and we've created a short slideshow explaining some of its key features.

The E-M10 (shown here with its optional grip attached) is pretty compact. But despite the small form-factor, it is crammed with features, and in keeping with recent Olympus tradition, peppered with physical control points, too.

One thing we really appreciate about the E-M10 II is that unlike some ultra-compact cameras of this type, the control points are fairly well spaced out, and the dials are large, raised, and easily distinguishable by touch. As we've come to expect from the OM-D series, build quality is high overall, although enthusiasts should note that the camera offers no weather-sealing. You'll have to step up to the OM-D E-M5 II or E-M1 for that.

Does that power switch look familiar? If so, you're showing your age. This is a deliberate call-back to the original OM, the OM-1 of 1972. The OM-1 and several subsequent cameras featured the same prominent on/off switch and it's nice to see Olympus having a little bit of fun with the company's legacy. Fact fans might be interested to know that the OM series was meant to be the M-series, before Leica's lawyers politely asked Olympus to reconsider.

Something that original film OM-series cameras didn't have was a pop-up flash. The power switch on the new OM-D E-M10 actually serves a dual purpose. As well as the long throw on/off action, when pushed beyond the 'on' position this switch manually pops up the flash. Neat!
16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor

The sensor inside the OM-D E-M10 II is almost certain to be the same one we've seen in the original E-M10 and E-M5 II. Olympus certainly isn't making any claims to indicate the contrary. As such, we expected it to be a good all-round performer and so it has proved in our studio testing and real world shooting. 16MP might not seem like all that much compared to the 24MP+ sensors in many APS-C format competitors, but it's plenty for most everyday photography.
5-axis in-body IS

New in the E-M10 II relative to its predecessor is in-body 5-axis stabilization. Although Olympus claims that the system used in the E-M5 II is superior, we've been impressed by how effective the E-M10 II's IS can be when shooting at marginal shutter speeds.
High speed shooting

The E-M10 II might be an entry-level offering, but it's impressively speedy. Capable of shooting at framerates of up to 8.5 fps, the E-M10 II is well-suited to capturing the decisive moment, as long as you don't rely too much on AF. The maximum framerate with continuous AF is significantly lower, and since it lacks the hybrid AF system of its high-end cousin the E-M1, the E-M10 II can't compete in terms of tracking accuracy. Like the E-M5 II though, it's not bad, provided you don't expect miracles.
Tilting screen

The E-M10 II's rear LCD screen is touch-sensitive and semi-articulated. A tilting screen is less useful than full articulation, but it's handy for high and low-angle shooting. We're big fans of touchscreens for AF placement, and the E-M10 II introduces a new feature for Olympus, 'AF Targeting Pad'. What this means is that with your eye to the viewfinder, you can still use the rear screen to place the AF point by touch, just by moving your thumb slightly on a small area of the screen. It's hard to explain, but works very well.
ECG-3 Grip

This is the optional ECG-3 grip ($60), which bulks up the body of the E-M10 II resulting in a deeper and more comfortable grip at the expense of some extra size and weight. Cleverly, Olympus has designed it with a 'quick release' catch that allows it to be removed very quickly if you need to change battery or memory card.
