Is the E-M10 Mark IV worth it for a beginner?

Yes, if you want a small, stabilized camera with easy JPEGs and 4K video. Its autofocus is the main compromise for action shooting.

How does it compare with the Mark III?

The Mark IV moves to a 20.3MP sensor, adds subject-detection AF from the E-M1 line and a flip-down selfie screen. Stabilization and body size stay close.

Does it have in-body stabilization?

Yes. Five-axis sensor-shift stabilization compensates for about 4.5 stops of shake, and it works with any lens you mount.

Can I shoot 4K video with it?

Yes, it records UHD 4K. There is no headphone jack, so audio monitoring is limited.

Any Micro Four Thirds lens, including Olympus M.Zuiko and Panasonic Lumix G glass. The crop factor is 2x.

The body, a rechargeable battery and charger, a shoulder strap and a USB cable. Lenses come only with kit bundles.

About it

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV meshes many of Olympus's flagship features and technologies with the compact and highly portable E-M10 design. Incorporating the 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and TruePic VIII image processor, the E-M10 Mark IV is characterized by its UHD 4K video recording capabilities, fast 8.7 fps continuous shooting rate, and wide ISO 200-25600 sensitivity range to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. The sensor also employs a 121-point contrast-detection AF system, which uses subject detection algorithms from the E-M1-series, for fast, accurate, and intelligent focusing performance. Additionally, 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization is also featured, which compensates for approximately 4.5 stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.

About the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Mirrorless Camera

The OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is Olympus's entry-level Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, built around a 20.3MP Live MOS sensor and TruePic VIII processor. It stands out for in-body 5-axis stabilization (about 4.5 stops), 4K video, 8.7 fps burst shooting and a compact body that takes the whole M.Zuiko lens range. It suits first-time mirrorless buyers and travelers who want stabilization and easy JPEGs in a small body, and it undercuts most APS-C rivals on size and stabilization rather than on autofocus or high-ISO noise.
