The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Micro Four Thirds was the third model in the OM-D series of compact, mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras. It was introduced in January 2014.

The model was aimed at a lower price point in the market than the preceding OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1 models. Some features of the previous models were not included, such as weather sealing and the E-M10 had only a 3-way image stabiliser instead of the other models' 5-way stabiliser.

The E-M10 used the BLS-1 battery first supplied with the earlier E-P1/2 compact mirrorless cameras rather than the BLN-1 used by the OM-D E-M5 and E-M1 models.

Successor

Olympus E-M10 Successor was announced on August 25th, 2015. The updated model retained a 16megapixel sensor but added the 5-axis image stabilisation system of the more up-market models.

Various software updates were applied in the newer model including correction for rolling blur that affects both low-light shooting as well as horizontal and vertical shift blur that can mar macro shots.
