DXOMark measurements
I really like the idea of adding a EM10 to the kit for all the moving shots. I think people are underestimating how convenient this camera can be. Also the old EM5 is dropping in price. The Olympus cameras aren't perfect for everyone, but for me doing Weddings and other live events I like the IBIS and overall image you can get out of these cameras. Totally makes the old MF Lenses much more effective.
E-M10 is truly an impressive little camera. It holds its own against entry-level DSLRs in terms of image quality and handling, and beats them all in terms of direct control. Beyond the core photographic tools, the E-M10 is brimming with extras: Wi-Fi that makes it easy to share images with your friends, time-lapse with video creation, Time exposure mode with live updates for judging progress, multi-exposure mode, lashings of Art Filters and one of the most comprehensive in-camera Raw re-processing systems. It's hard to imagine many people using all of these features (and surely a great many won't use any of them), but you only need to latch onto one of them for it to make the camera indispensable.
I've bought one E-M10 in Amazon, my parents brougth it from the USA, will get it in April with them. The primary use will be stills, but if Olympus release a firmware update with 24p, could use it for movies as well.
When I get it I could post some samples here.
It is a much better camera than we initially gave it credit for. The JPEG image quality that comes from it is outstanding. But beyond that, this camera focuses like a true speed demon and there is very little that can match it.

Image quality is excellent for a cropped-sensor camera. From ISO 100 through to ISO 1600, noise is very well controlled, usually not becoming an issue until you hit ISO 3200. We never longed for a camera with a bigger sensor, and you'd have to step up to a full-frame DSLR to see an appreciable leap in image quality.

Very good article about design process:
Camera has great image quality, especially from RAW files, also excellent dynamic range for a m43 sensor and very good high ISO performance.

Tried the E-M10 last week with a RJ lens turbo and some FD primes
Cute, compact camera with great build quality. IBIS is fantastic and makes extra support almost superfluous.
Pros: video quality is perfectly fine for my needs as an event shooter. Colours look great and with shadow/highlight curves you can control the dynamic range quite well.
Killer stuff: as mentioned above, the IBIS is just uncanny. Handheld 210mm lens: no problem. Punch in sensor crop on the fly while recording: Who needs a zoom? ;-)
Screen and EVF are sharp enough for me, compared to GH2 and G6.
Cons: focus peaking and highlight/shadow indicators goes away in video mode!
Only 30p. Getting old tooth now, olympus.
No mic input. Annoying placement of SD-card.
Conclusion: I tried both the E-M10 and the Sony A6000 against my G6. I'm keeping the G6 :-)
But if Olympus makes an E-M1 mk2 with videographer updates I'm all in!
New firmware
Version 1.1
I am on the fence for an EM10 or EM1, for both stills and video use. I found this comparison between the EM10 and EM5:
The stabilisation seems about the same, with the EM 10 slightly cropped. But to my amazement, the EM5 with its weaker codec seems considerably sharper. Or am I imagining things? It might be the digital part of the EM10 IS that has some influence here.
Any thoughts about it? Regards,
Merijn
Shooting movies with the E-M10 goes beyond both point-n-shoot cameras and most dSLR cameras with its ability to capture full 1080p HD videos with continuous AF. The dedicated video recording button keeps the camera just one button-press away from capturing video, no matter what shooting mode the camera is in. For more control and shooting options the camera also features a dedicated video shooting mode.
