Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is good for travel photography. It delivers impressive image quality and performs well even in low light. It's also very lightweight and portable, though it may be too small for those with very large hands. Its approximate advertised battery life is okay, though this can vary with settings and usage habits. The camera supports USB charging, but you can't use it while it charges. While its autofocus system is excellent at tracking moving objects, it struggles to track faces. It also isn't weather-sealed.

The E-M10 Mark IV is an easy camera to overlook, but if you're looking for a small, stills-focused camera, it deserves serious consideration. Olympus has carefully refined this model over the years, keeping a strong focus on taking beautiful pictures. Its combination of a 20MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, 3-inch flip-down touchscreen and five-axis in-body image stabilization put it in a different league to smartphones and most pocket cameras. If you’re a beginner or enthusiast who’s looking to take the next step up in photography, this is a brilliant option.
