The camera incorporates 3-axis image stabilisation and FAST AF, making this the fastest ever Olympus AF system with 81 target areas covering the entire image. With 8 fps shooting speed, burst rates can deliver up to 16 RAW images and an unlimited number of JPEGs. With continuous AF, the camera delivers up to 3.5 fps.”

New Olympus OM-D E-M10 named best Compact System Camera Entry Level by TIPA

Newest OM-D camera upholds family tradition with first major award
 
London, April 2014 – Olympus’ high-end OM-D camera range collected another top award, with TIPA voting the E-M10 the best Compact System Camera in the Entry Level category. The release in February of the strikingly compact, lightweight but technology-packed E-M10 completed an OM-D mirrorless line-up that includes the advanced E-M5 and professional flagship E-M1, with which the E-M10 shares many of its first-class features. 
 
Given the popularity of the OM-D range and the E-M10’s extremely compact casing, the youngest member of the family may yet surpass the success of its multiple award-winning predecessors. As the TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) jury noted, “The nicely designed and extremely compact and metal-bodied OM-D E-M10 convinces with great image quality and operation thanks to the TruePic VII processor (inherited from the E-M1), a 16-Megapixel Live MOS sensor, built-in WiFi with QR code scanning technology, a large, 1.4-million RGB dot electronic viewfinder and a tilting 3-inch touchscreen LCD with high 1,039,000-dot resolution. The camera incorporates 3-axis image stabilisation and FAST AF, making this the fastest ever Olympus AF system with 81 target areas covering the entire image. With 8 fps shooting speed, burst rates can deliver up to 16 RAW images and an unlimited number of JPEGs. With continuous AF, the camera delivers up to 3.5 fps.”
