Olympus OM-D E-M10 is one of the best camera Olympus has ever produced.
The entire OM-D series has the best collection and with its classic design, it looks awesome.
Olympus OM-D E-M10 First Impressions Review
Preview based on production Olympus OM-D E-M10
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is the third camera in the company's OM-D range and represents another tier in the lineup - sitting below the E-M5 and the even more expensive E-M1.
The first of Olympus's OM-D models, the E-M5, impressed us a great deal when it was launched, and clearly struck a chord with our readers - comfortably winning our first annual 'camera of the year' poll. And the cause for the excitement? A combination of the best image quality we'd seen from a Four Thirds sized sensor and a well-considered set of controls that offerred an enthusiast DSLR-style experience in a much smaller body, were genuinely unprecedented. Overall it was the most complete and coherent mirrorless camera we'd seen up until that point.
The bad news is that, as the more basic model, the E-M10 doesn't push the series in many exciting new directions. But the more significant good news is that, with very few exceptions, the E-M10 offers almost everything the E-M5 did, plus a bit more, at a much lower starting price. Whereas the E-M5 debuted at a cost of around $999 body-only, the E-M10 will hit the market at around $699 (or $799 with the collapsible 14-42mm II R lens).
The story is slightly different in the UK, where Olympus is bundling the E-M10 with the tiny 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ power zoom lens that was announced at the same time. This kit will cost around £699, with a £529 price tag to buy it body-only. This means the body-only price is only around $30 more expensive than the US price, if VAT is removed to compare them on an equal footing.
OM-D E-M10 key features
- 16MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor
- Twin control dials
- Built-in flash
- 8 fps continuous shooting
- Tilting 1.04M dot LCD touchscreen
- 1.44m dot LCD viewfinder
- Wi-Fi allowing remote control and file transfer to smartphones
- Focus peaking
- '3-axis' image stabilization
Looking through that list, you'll see that the E-M10 is essentially an un-weather-sealed E-M5 but with a better rear screen and the ability to easily send images off to a smart device. And, in use, that's a pretty accurate way of looking at things. But just looking at what's new or different risks downplaying how much is carried over from the E-M5.
Despite its fairly modest (mid-range DSLR level) pricing, the E-M10 retains not only a full twin dial control setup, giving you plenty of direct access to exposure settings, but also a touchscreen that helps make it quick to change secondary settings (gradation, white balance, ISO, etc.). As usual, Olympus hasn't made any moves to simplify or dumb-down its menu system, with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings.

In the negative column, you can see that the E-M10 misses out on the E-M5's 5-axis stabilization - which means it's not quite as effective (particularly when shooting close-ups). The shutter mechanism, meanwhile, allows a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000th of a second, in contrast to the 1/8000 sec offered by Olympus's most recent models, the E-P5 and E-M1. The good news is that our preliminary testing suggests it isn't prone to the image shake that can occur with the PEN E-P5.
The E-M10 also does without an AP2 accessory port, but this isn't necessarily a huge drawback - with the exception of the SEMA-1 stereo mic option, most of the available accessories aren't terribly relevant for E-M10 owners. The little LED macro lights Olympus sells are a bit of fun (though hardly essential), and we can't see many people feeling the need to add viewfinders and Bluetooth transmitters to a camera with a built-in EVF and Wi-Fi.
However, the things the E-M10 adds are rather nice - the rear screen is a noticeable improvement, as is the inclusion of the 'Adaptive Brightness' viewfinder technology first introduced in the E-M1. This brightens and darkens the viewfinder panel, based on the ambient lighting conditions. As a result, the viewfinder ends up being bright in bright light without then being blinding in low light. It's a little thing (to the point that you don't necessarily notice it happening), but it helps provide a more OVF-like experience.
The Four Thirds concept has been the subject of much debate, right from launch, but in its Micro Four Thirds incarnation, it offers a combination of size and capability that sets it apart from its APS-C rivals. And, although we wouldn't expect a huge number of E-M10 owners to buy lots of extra lenses, there are a healthy number of comparatively affordable (circa $300) lenses available from Olympus and Panasonic.
Electronic zoom
In the UK, the E-M10 will be sold with the m.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ MSC power zoom. It's an very compact power zoom lens, that allows the camera and lens combination to stay small (the lens is even smaller than Panasonic's 14-42 Vario X powerzoom. Despite its size, the lens finds room for both a zoom and focus rings. It also comes with a clever sprung-iris lens cap that gives a compact-camera-like experience. In the US (initially, at least), the lens will only be available separately, at a cost of around $349.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 is one of the best camera Olympus has ever produced.
Check out the just announced super compact 35-100mm f2.8 from Panasonic!
Skip to 8:32 in the youtube video below:
Not really an announcement just a mock-up but still very exciting. I wonder how it will end up.
The 9mm fisheye body cap, the 14-42 pancake zoom, this 35-100 micro zoom from Panasonic and the classic 20mm f1.7 pancake prime and you're set for an all-purpose, but small kit.
Trade in some functionality (EVF, IBIS) and get the GM1 as a m43 body and you're doubling down on small size.
bluevellet. I need a proper grip and controls. The GM-1 though an great little gem skips too much in the ergonomics part for me.
I have the GX7 here as a second body. With the 20mm 45mm as most used lenses. It's a damn fine mirrorless. I have yet to come across anything i do not like about it.
Well i would love to have an affordable good fast standard zoom option. Sigma? Tamron?
And 1600 for the 42.5mm is just an plain robbery in my book.
The lens you want is a m43 equivalent of the classic 14-54 on 4/3 DSLRs. No such option exist yet (unless you use that very lens on m43). I'm not sure how much of a demand there is for a native m43 zoom like that. I'm personally not interested (I stick to small primes).
As mirrorless cameras especially micro 4/3 are for recreational use, small fast prime lenses are the way to go. The closes "fast standard zoom" is the Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 lens. For me, I prefer the 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 if I need one. The 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 MkII is a very convenient alternative. It is not fast but it get the job done.
Now this looks great. Mft starts to go back to its roots and takes advantage of the smaller sensor footprint. The pana 12-32mm zoom, the new Olympus 12-42mm kit zoom, pana leica 17mm, pana 20mm, Olympus 25mm, Olympus 45mm, this super compact 35-100mm is what mft should be all about imo and the E-M10 could be the right body for these lenses. Perfect for a super compact, versatile, high IQ travel combo.
To correct the above (in the UK at least and in the kit I bought) the sprung-iris lens cap does not come with the m.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ MSC power zoom and instead is available separately: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-LC-37C-M-ZUIKO-DIGITAL-14-42mm/dp/B00I1CP2MU/

Look for the RB 67 page, compare it to what MFT can do today....
There's no contest.
Darn ...

FMF = full marketing frame
Compare the Mamiya RB 67 4.5 TIMES as big as 35 mm (miniature format pics with the MFT ones.
I used to own Olympus in the film era. It was great to have a Japanese manufacturer caring about size and IQ at the same time.
Nowadays, I think of IQ and I ask myself why should we trade camera size for IQ? Why is Olympus is not pushing for FF and smaller size? Is Sony the old Olympus?
By the way, I don't own neither but do use FF.
Thank you
Myabe they see a market for smaller cameras. You cant compare sizes of digital cameras to Film analog cameras with hardly any electronics at all. Of course the original OM was small and FF, but there more in a camera than ever before. They did not have IBIS, image processors, memory, LCDs, rechargable batteries?, AUto Focus motors?
Plus the Boat anchor market is cornered by Two big companies, maybe olympus sees elsewhere.
what do you mean by IQ? is it a camera issue?
Even if the body could be reduced to fit a FF sensor, it would still require larger, bulkier lenses. I prefer the light alternative of M4/3 lenses. When I need absolute IQ or performance, I'll use my FF but for travel and casual shots my E-PL5 is my go-to tool.
OM bodies were famous for their low quality. many people used to love OM cameras for lower prices than major brands, and most of those who bought a low price camera didn't take many photos for same cost reasons.
That is a stuipid and completely misleading remark,as the forty year old OM-1 Istill use demonstrates. The OM-1 was a very well-made camera for its price class, and the later OM3 and OM4Ti still sell for premium prices because they were superb cameras for their significantly higher price category.
did you buy your OM-1 new 40 years ago?
for used ones, no OM-1 can be complete with original parts, and that's why someone can still use their OM-1's today: third-party parts made in back-streets in Tokyo or somewhere else are of better quality than Olympus originals.
used OM-1's are dirt cheap but one that's never openned should go to a museum (don't try to use it for it will break). Canon and Nikon also have problem buying back old models with all genuin parts while you can find loads of them in shops.
You are so full of it: back in the days I had to choose: my OM-10 with a 50mm 1.4 or a full set with 3 lenses from Yashika or a Pentax with two lenses. So if Oly's are cheap rubbish, Pentax must be even more? Oh, and that OM-10, I still use it to shoot B/W film on concerts. With an OM-Eos adapter it even takes my Canon 70-200/2.8. All original, had to turn it in once for a lighting meter checkup.
Why do we"need" FMF?
IQ is high these days and micro for third strikes a great balance between too much DOF and enough DOF. High IQ Portraits to macro to landscapes are all possible with the one format. And the lenses are small enough to carry a few of them.
printing is easy up to 900mm by 1200mm.
That's big!
FMF (full MARKETING frame) is not that useful any more unless using old less sharp lenses important.
35mm replaced my 6x7 fuller frame for most things and MFT kills the results the old Mamiya could achieve. Examples at the links below.
Why? Because FF is useless for most users, it is heavier, bigger and more expensive.
The marginal gain in iq is simply not worth it.
I'd like my EM5 had in camera CA correction too... :-(
I have 2 EM5's which I use professionally, and bought the EM10 for my purse -- I love the wifi and OMShare app. The image quality is excellent and the size can't be beat. For its purpose in my life, it's perfect. My EM5's, with full battery grip, feel more balanced when using lenses like the 75 1.8 and 12-40 2.8 -- I keep hoods permanently attached (instead of filters) and there's a PW on top of it all; somehow I think the EM10 would look a little silly like that (and yes I have the grip on preorder but it's not a battery grip). I find if you turn off image review in the EVF there's almost no image lag.
I'm coming from a D800 kit with good glass, and I literally had to ask B&H to recommend a bag SMALL enough for the body + lens sizes. Think Tank "Speed" convertible pack series is just right when event shooting, and my Think Tank Navigator holds my entire kit. And every time I pick it up fully loaded with my Oly kit, it makes me smile.
"I also found the rear command dial slightly awkward to use on occasion. With the camera balanced in my right hand, it's just out of my thumb's reach, requiring an extra moment of re-positioning."
I felt the same with the E-M5 at first. Then I understood both dials were best operated by the index. It really took some times before I even tried because we're expecting one wheel per thumb & index. At least it works fine for me.
try to use the base of the thumb to hold the camera (against the second join of the middle finger).
Whichever way I look at it - the E-M10 looks like a marketing mistake in favour of the consumer. That doesn't happen very often.
The E-M10 is marketed as an entry level OM series camera - however on paper and I'm sure in reality - this camera looks to perform (purely in terms of image quality) as well as the E-M1. That's pretty special for a camera about half the price of it's bigger brother.
Olympus needs to make more marketing mistakes like this.
The EM-10 has all the basics to take great photos and follows a familar philosophy from Olympus of offering great value, even in the low end.
Weather-sealing, bigger grip, bigger EVF, faster shutter, PDAF, extra customization are features missing from the EM-10 (compared to the E-M1) and may not be worth it for budget-conscious customers.
Olympus cameras follow the tradition of film cameras: cheap models get the same sensor/film as more expensive models in the same format, and are differentiated on other features of the body like weather sealing, higher frame rates, fancier AF systems, bigger and better viewfinders. I much prefer this to the Canon/Nikon/Sony approach where cheaper models in a given format often got inferior, older sensor designs.
BTW, Pentax does it right too: for example, the sensor that arrived in the K-5 was then used in all subsequent lower-priced Pentax DSLR bodies.
Really...the Nikon 5300 has an inferior sensor?
How do you figure Nikon gives cheaper models inferior sensors? The D7100, D5300, and D3300 all share the same sensor. The D600/610 and D800 both have sensors that sit alone in their own class. The D4/s and Df both have the same sensor.
All of Nikon's sensors are regarded highly. Not a cheap inferior sensor in the whole lineup.
What's cool about the OMD line is you get both mode dials on even the base model EM10. With Nikon, if you want some advanced features like the Dual Mode Dials, you need to go all the way to the D7XXX series. Not that the 5000 and 3000 series arent awesome cameras, they most certainly are. And they have some of the best APS-C sensors available. But, Oly's base model is only lacking a few features from the EM1 (Phase, weather sealing, etc) And THAT is pretty cool.
great camera but the lenses are somehow expensive, there is no budget 50mm or better 25mm f1.8 lens... for 100 euro you can get only toy lenses...:( ...and I wonder, if there is any small external flash, like Nikon´s SB400?
FL-300R like the SB400 but better in some ways - can be shot off camera using clip on flash to control it with the EM5 and EM1 - not sure about the EM10 yet but I would imagine it would work.
Can be bounced.
About $130-160.
Down side - not super powerfull.
It seems though that MFT lenses are the cheapest, compared to Canon and Nikon. And they are small. No budget 50mm or better 25mm f1.8 lens? are you serious? The 25mm f1.8 lens is very good and sharp, just do your research. Good lenses cost money, and they last long, sometimes even longer that the camera itself. If you want a budget lens, better stick to the kit lens. Good investments produce good quality.
@fuxicek, all new lenses are expensive.
The cheapest are the f/2.8 Sigmas - 19mm and 30mm, both retailing for around 160€ in Germany (s/h probably even cheaper). 19mm would give you around 40mm eq FL (which I personally prefer over 50mm eq). The Sigma 60mm has similar price and is a very good portrait lens.
You can get a Panasonic 14mm f2.5 for around 200 USD on ebay. It is a fairly sharp wide lens (28 mm equivalent FF) that can be used as an all purpose lens. Also look into a 45mm F1.8 that you can get for approximately 300 USD and is almost a MUST have for any m4/3 oly owner for portraits etc.
m4/3" lenses are not only lower performance but also by far worse cost performance.
Yabokkie, I've grown to have a strange appreciate for your posts; they are consistent, like the rising sun. Unfortunately, you chiming in on every topic, undermines your credibility. I have difficulty believing your proclamations, as I doubt you've used a third of the equipment you comment on. Perhaps you are drawing on a vast pool of theoretical knowledge and insight beyond the normal human - theoretically possible but not likely.
Your comment here (consistent with your usual negative assessments) is a broad categorization that is simply wrong - as is much of your commentary about m4/3. Do you have any real life experience with this format?
b craw should that not read, "do you have any real life experience?"...
The way I see it, I'm paying a bit of a premium to have such ultra-compact lenses. Sure, some of my Canon DSLR lenses are cheaper, but they are also quite a bit larger. So in terms of value per dollar with m4/3 lenses, compact size is part of the value proposition. I guess it's like paying extra for a slim ultrabook, when bulkier laptops can be had for cheaper.
Yabokkie thinks that the physical aperture is the only information you need about a lens to know its performance. Companies that make lenses for crop sensor cameras are 'F-stop cheaters', because they try to disguise their low-performance, small aperture lenses behind seemingly impressive F-stop numbers. At least this is my understanding of his/her teachings.
Nice one Stu 5. I notice that yab has remained silent on this question. He has no experience it appears. He bases his stupid little ideas on specs. Anyone with a brain cell knows cameras are far more than the sum of their specs.
One other point about very fast lenses--when wide open they sometimes perform poorly on the edges, and especially in the corners. This is less of a problem on m43 (depending on the lens) than it is on FF. Take a lens like the Minolta MD 50mm 1.4 manual lens, adapted to a FF camera, or to m43. With m43, you have a longer focal length, it's true, and the sensor receives fewer photons, because of the size of the sensor, but your image is sharp edge to edge, because you are only using the sweet spot in the middle of the lens. If the noise is unobjectionable (as it is at low ISO--let's face it, people are trying to create issues here where there are none), then you have taken a sharper photo edge to edge on m43 than you could on FF, with the same lens. Neither format wins all the time, but as other posters have pointed out, strictly judging formats by lens aperture is a mistake.
Yabokkie: casting doubts among fanboys of every major brand that exists.
The Oly 25mm 1.8 (50mm equiv for a 35mm camera) i think is $300 and its a stellar lens. Also, this kit lens has almost double the MTF resolution as the standard kit lens from a Canon DSLR, making it quite useful, unlike what Canon offers in a kit.
If you like standard zooms (24-80mm), they Zuiko 2.8PRO for $1,000 offers better MTF resolution than Canon's L glass 24-70 2.8 and is cheaper.
I just wish we had some good Sigma glass to choose from here, but at least the image quality of the Zuiko glass seems to justify their price.
I'm looking to buy a travel camera. I know I am probably in the minority, but I would love for DPR to also include some gallery samples with the power zoom kit lens. The images with the 1.8 lens look awesome. How much worse would they look with the kit lens?
Outside if you don't need the thin depth of field probably close to nothing.
Indoors when you need to push the ISO's worse by an considerable ammount. Difference in light is about 3 stops. So You can keep using ISO 800 instead of 6400. or 400 instead of 3200.
This is by far one of the best backup camera ever! Street shooting with this baby is great! For the $ is perfect! DAM
I want one! it seems like the perfect upgrade for me from Oly E-pl5 have already bought a collection of lens.
The question is? Is it time to sell my Nikon D800 which I still love, but use less.
This is pretty good deal. When the price settles down a bit, it will even be a better deal.
I would say the E-P5 and any offspring have run their course and are rendered obsolete by this camera. The EPL and EPM still serve some purpose in the Oly line up.
OMD occupies a nice niche in the camera market. It will be interesting to see if Olympus can make a buck selling these cameras.
Yea, especially if the shuttershockgate of the E-P5 is now fixed...
I've never seen a shock issue with my E-M5 but that E-P5 was aweful...
Since the E-P5 shutter is capable of 1/8000s, it's probably not the same one as in E-M5 and E-M10.
I'd rather have an E-P5 than an EM-10.
I did rather get an GX7 instead of the overpriced EP-5.
I already voted with my wallet on that one. I would have considered the EM-10 for cost savings though. But it wasn't out yet.
Why are the exposure settings all over the place? Makes no sense. How are we suppose to make a comparison if they are not the same? Seems like Oly caught on and are gaming the DPR comparison method.

3 words.
Neutral density filter
The testphoto's show that the Panny GM1 shows just a little more detail. Agressive noisereduction in the E-M10?
Depending on where I look, I see (or think that I see) more detail from one camera or the other. The NR is likely not applied globally, but locally depending on the kind of detail in the specific part of the image. In general, Olympus' output pleases me more than Panasonic's, but it's a matter of taste for sure.
If the output of this camera at ISO 200 is "not good", "unacceptable", "noisy", blah, blah, blah, as so many posters claim, and there are two stops difference between m43 and FF, does that mean that the output of Nikon FF cameras at ISO 800 is "not good", "unacceptable", and "noisy"?
No, it means that the Olympus camera is missing native ISO 25, 50 and 100 in order to compete with ISO 100, 200 and 400 on full frame cameras.
I still fail to understand why these ISO modes are not available on micro four thirds...
That is sort of like saying that a Ferrari going at 5KM is no better than a Prius going at 5KM.
For cameras, it means that your operational envelope is FAR greater for FF than with m43. Similar to why fast lenses are better than slower ones, even if slower ones are "just as good" at similar apertures. If your needs are limited, then this may not matter to you, but, dismissing it is shortsighted.
Native ISO is a physical property of the sensor. Lowering the native ISO means that the sensor is less sensitive to incoming light, which in turn means that the signal needs more amplification to achieve the higher effective ISOs. And more amplification leads to more noise.
Also, with a native ISO as low as 25, photon shot noise will become more visible, so you may not gain as much as you'd wish, even at low ISOs.
it does if D800 doesn't have lower ISO settings than 800.
To Mike9999:
I'm guessing about your ISO question - maybe it has something to do with the surface area of the sensor. Considering that the M43 is a smaller sensor, "maybe" it doesn't collect "enough" light and therefore need a higher ISO to reach acceptable exposure. Again, I'm only guessing - don't really know.
Exposure is a function of light per unit area, and is independent of total amount of light collected by the sensor. Sensor size does influence other things though.
There is no reason to expect smaller sensors to have a lower minimum usable exposure index ("ISO"), since that minimum is based on saturation of the photosites at highlights, and is mostly set by how many electrons the sensor can count _per_unit_area_ (along with the fraction if incoming photons that the sensor detects: QE). That measure is roughly 1500 to 2000 electrons per square micron regardless of sensor size, so the base-ISO speed does to vary much with sensor or photosite size: certainly not in direct proportion to sensor or photosite size.
This highlight-based lower limit (base ISO speed) is unrelated to the film-like "ISO speed", which is about signal-to-noise ratios and handling of low light levels, not highlight handling.
It is unfortunate that these different measures [(1) exposure level or EI (2) saturation-based lower limits on usable EI, (3) maximum EI or "ISO speed" based on noise] all get called "ISO" just because the same organization (The ISO) defines them all.
Not fair comparison. For example on ISO 6400
Olympus has shutter speed 1/2500 but Nikon has 1/4000.
Noise should be compared at identical shutter speed and aperture.
With 1/2500 Nikon will get about twice less noise than on 1/4000.
Some companies continue tricking customers and I see that dpreview continues to support it by publishing those unfair tests.
This is the reason why MFT seems close to other formats. ANyway, it would require a different test to show the true difference between formats.
As has been mentioned in this discussion before: the light levels of the test scene are lowered accordingly so that both cameras receive the same amount of light. Thus the noise floor for the Nikon camera would be the same if shot with a darker scene at 1/2500 - or even a bit worse because thermal noise scales with exposure time.
Noise depends on the available light, too. According to Dpreview (read further down in the comments) they adjust the lighting as necessary to keep things even (at least in the specific instance mentioned).
joejack951, adjusting light for every camera makes test even more unreliable. In my opinion shutter, aperture and scene brightness must be identical for all cameras (SAS lock). Then we can optionally normalize the images (or use Auto ISO) so they have same brightness. Un-normalized version should be also available.
it's relatively easy to have identical aperture for one can mount a same copy of Nikkor lens on m4/3" body but shutter speeds will have to be tested against a reliable reference (a CRT for amatuers for example).
also people should know that DPReview's test method is systematically biased due to a simple design flaw, that sensors of different aspect ratios cannot be compared directly.

It seems almost too logical, doesn't it?
Image Quality is not fantastic. Seems on a par with my RX100.
I do not think it really matters here.
I think I will buy one, if only because of G.A.S.
Shame about the 30p video though.
IQ is on par with any other camera on the default comparison. The only exception is Fuji which is cleaner on higher ISO values than any other. Oly is sharper on most of the parts though. I like the output over Canon and Nikon APS-C, less CA. probably because of the lens .. but still!!
Then you must have a special edition of the Rx100!
I have an E-M5 and an RX100 and sorry, but the E-M5 is superior IQ... as far as noise and sensor sharpness...
IQ is the same as RX100 (I also have both), I prefer the portability of the Sony. Imagine going to a party with a Olympus on your neck.
I can't imagine going to a party with any ILC (m4/3, APC or FF) around my neck.
Let's face it though: The RX100 color accuracy, tone curve, and AWB are just nasty. I like my RX100, but if it had decent color output - or could even be fixed 100% in post - I would LOVE it.
B1ackhat I agree with you! IMO Canon has the best colors output, thats why I am interested on the G1xii. The Oly colors of the EM10 does not seem a big upgrade from the RX100.
@Jude McDowell
I really like that avatar.
@DPR: In your Gear Shop, page http://gearshop.dpreview.com/olympus-om-d-e-m10-mirrorless-camera-kit-with-14-42mm-f3-5-5-6-ii-r-lens-black/dp/B00I3W0QWY?childAsin=B00HPQ0A16, in specifications you have "Electronic viewfinder with 100% coverage and 1,044,000 dots". I think you have a "0" in a wrong place.
Now my only question is: black or silver?
and the answer is .. either black or silver!!
I vote for black or silver.
This is going way over my head.
Black and silver are equivalent to red on full frame
Does this mean these cameras are better off without the 5-axis IBIS?
yeap .. if the body is very light, better go without 5-axis.
Why would it be better off? its 3.5 stops of IBIS rather than 4...
The 3-axis IBIS in E-M10 compensates for rotational movement, i.e. pitch, yaw and roll. 5-axis also corrects for left/right and up/down movements, which are most noticeable in photos taken at close range (or at very long focal lengths). In general, though, those movements don't cover as many pixels as the rotational movements do, and therefore aren't as visible in the final image.
I've been playing with the EM-10 lately and have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with what Olympus has been bringing to the table lately. I have absurd knobbly spaghetti/gorilla/alien fingers that make the body and lenses feel just a bit too small compared to what I'm used to (even my Pentax kit feels a little small having just transferred back from medium format), but the OM-D's viewfinder is generous and the quality is an absolute mind-blow — especially given the sensor size. BTW, have you seen a side-by-side comparison with the 35mm OM-1 from the early 70s? Absolutely uncanny. Makes you wonder how they ever fit a roll of film in their old OM lineup.
Anyways, it's no wonder they're finally projecting some profits in their camera division's near future :D
Please note; studio tests show better sharpness (RAW) and slightly more moire than the M5 and M1. Check-out the printed areas above the Dpreview logo. Also, the black finish is more attractive than the geometric pattern on the M5 black model.
If you don't like the black EM5 geometric pattern have you notices that new EM5 black model's black texture is now dimpled rubber instead of the geometric pattern?
Has been for a few weeks - since the last firmware update roughly.
I am very impressed. And I am a Nikon and Fuji shooter!
I have a feeling this will have a gold award with 81~82% rating.
Something like this....
- Excellent image quality, even at high ISO
- 3-axis IBIS almost as good as 5-axis IBIS except for macro photography
- Chromatic aberration corrected in-camera making JPEGs more usable
- Impressive number of customizable controls
- Bright, sharp electronic viewfinder
- Reliable Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control and easy transfer of images to mobile device
- Neat in-camera time lapse creation
- Tilting OLED screen very good
- No weather sealing
- Disappointing video quality (unless updated by firmware..)
- Interface and controls can be overwhelming initially
- In-camera Raw conversion interface is somewhat unintuitive
Just about every camera trotted out gets a gold or silver award these days.
Except the Nkon DF...
And the Nikon DF doesn't deserve any award. Its just a handicap D4 both in AF and ergonomics. Looks Fugly too.
They need a higher level award like Platinum or Titanium, to create some differentiation among all the Gold winners.
If someone was using DPR as a buying guide and they restricted their choices to silver and gold winners, they would be left with every camera DPR has tested, except the Df.
Sounds like every camera receives a participation trophy.
Perhaps most of today's good cameras (those worth reviewing) are actually good?
Save for the very best of the full frames, the M10 images look no better and no worse than the countless thousands of other images that have been posted on dpreview in the course of their most recent (past 2 to 3 years) camera reviews.
Seems to me that camera choices these days have much, much more to do with price point, ergonomics, features and intended uses than image quality or anything having to do with image quality. They're all very good. The OM-D E-M10 is good. A Leica is good. The Fuji X Trans cameras are good. My old Canon 40D is good. Take your pick.
Well said. All cameras are good if used within the limits of their technology. Only in the extremes eg High ISO's will the little guys fall behind.
Most definitely, I'm still using my EP3 with its "ancient" 12mp sensor and recently did something crazy... I got some photos printed out. You know what, I was happy with the result so I'm sticking with it until the price comes down on the EP5; yes the IQ is better on newer cameras but the EP3 fits me like a glove and offers enough IQ to keep me happy for now.
The OP's comments is spot on.
I have an older E620 DSLR (Four Thirds) and I still shoot with it from time to time. I think it's interesting how far we've come in the last 5 years with (m)43.
With the old camera, the pics are still nice, but there's more of a grainy look, almost like film. You see it on a monitor, though not so much in prints. Your range is ISO 100-800 for acceptable IQ.
Same year, Oly released the E-P1 with the same sensor but new image processor. IQ is refined and acceptable ISO range jumps to 1600. Things stay roughly the same for the next two generations.
E-M5 is released in 2012 with a new sensor and this is when 43 finally catches up to APS-C or exceeds it (Canon). DR is noticeably improved, MP increased and nearly two stop gained in high ISO. Times are good.
IQ with the EM-10 is very similar to the E-M5. It doesn't seem to matter whether the sensor is Sony-made (E-M5, EM-10) or from Panasonic (E-M1). Image processing is not squeezing much more detail either. There's that plateau again.
I'm looking forward for a 24mp sensor which will be both good for portrait and take the best pocket landscape camera away from the NEX7 / A6000 !
I tend to agree - all the OMD's produce really nice images - I'm not talking Oly JPEGs engine here.
There's almost a 3D effect and they are very very crisp and clear.
At least that's how I find them.
The only significant difference is video quality. For people who want to do video, some cameras do it better due to a better codec.
I agree. Tons of great cameras out there. There are certainly differences in jpeg processing. And cameras differ in features and ergonomics. But we are blessed by having access to a lot of cameras that are capable of making great images, if used by the right person.
Some people still use their olympus e-1, despite having some newer, more megapixels cameras. One is here:)
I have an E1 too... I still love it though the EP3 has turned into my 'go to' camera due to size.
I admire the silly names each OEM gives its image processor.
Pentax' "Safox" AF module is also pretty good - it's the most sapphic AF system in the industry!
really enjoyed olympus micro4/3 em-5 when i rented it ,,, its alot of camera in a very small form factor ,, plus the extra tweaks arent too hard too find or lost in menus,,,, at a price point thats a great bargain,,, plus the lens options are almost endless with the proper adapters,,,,,watching4/3 camera evolve is a neat thing to see right now...good job olympus..keep pushing the envelope
The main dealbreaker for me is that uncomfortable on/off switch, believe or not that was the reason why I sold my E-M5 :-(
That is a strange reason to sell a camera. Are you sure there weren't other reasons why you sold it?
It's really an off/on switch which is probably why you couldn't handle it.
One almost needs two hands to activate the camera, that is just silly. Tried some of the OMD cameras in the store and that was really annoying. All the nice weels on top but the one function you need most is not there. Why Olympus?
Sounds like you were using that switch as much as the shutter button. Otherwise, how could it be so annoying?
Reviews of the E-M5 told me to dislike the switch position, and maybe on the E-M5 I would have. But on the E-M10 (and in part because my hands are not small) I can hold the camera and work the switch with one hand. With gloves on. And I'm not fighting to get to some tiny recess in a crowded area of the top plate. I haven't yet had a problem with accidentally turning the camera off, either. Obviously, YMMV, but people should really try these things themselves and strong statements on the internet shouldn't be taken very seriously.
There's that all too familiar mottling (noise) in the sky portion of the shot along with the classic crunching of distant detail due to noise reduction and loss of detail, which caused me to recently divest myself of all my micro 4/3rd gear. I'm sure for many it's not a big deal. For me it was........
Oh boy, here you go again providing false information. People, it's best not to believe him.
i've been shooting (E-M1 and E-M5) RAW/JPEG lately and using only Olympus Viewer to convert/view the ORFs. Even in low ISO (below 400) i could regularly see some goopy type "noise/artifacts"...kinda like little globs of clear gelatin splattered around.
i just demo'd DXO9 and the issue is long gone. even at default settings DXO9 gives the best ORF files i've seen in my life (starting with E1 in 2003).
Oly has got to (or i have to learn Viewer better) to better with it's RAW converter/viewer.
The evening shot (the first one in the "features" paragraph) looks particularly smudgy.
it's a better point and shoot. What do you guys ecpect for that money?
You're correct, I guess...
Canon g1xII, fuji xm1 or olympus em10? Hard to decide! I have a sony rx100 and I am considering to replace it.
Sony made NEX cameras, Samsung made the NX100!
Why do people use this mindset?
Chose which lens(es) you need, then get the matching camera. If you will be using kit lenses I don't think there's a need to replace your rx100.
Mike99999: "Chose which lens(es) you need, then get the matching camera. If you will be using kit lenses I don't think there's a need to replace your rx100."
Yes. And it is worth repeating.
I need an all around lens (bright, wide angle, 3x zoom). Portability is essential. I think I will stick with my RX100, the images looks better tahn EM10. The studio test of the RX100 was not done right.
I use my camera for travel, skiing, karting, partying. I dont need all kind of lenses (and I think unless you are a pro you dont need too).
So tell me about all the wildlife photographs you take with your rx100. Or the ultra wide angle photographs.
I'm sorry, I forgot, only pros take those sort of pictures....in your world anyway.
Judging by your picture, your flowers and birds pictures must be very exciting!
Title on screen 9 reads, "Olympus OM-D E-M10 Samples Gallery". The text then starts, "There are 40 images in the Fujifilm X-T1 samples galley"....!
I think that on the "introductory" page there is a slightly incorrect statement:
"From the E-M5 it [the E-M10] gets a 16 megapixel Four Thirds sensor, and from the E-M1 a newer TruePic VII processor and a large EVF that automatically dims and brightens depending on ambient light",
which gives the impression that the E-M10 EVF is the same of the E-M1, whereas it is that of the E-M5 (albeit with the dimming capability of the E-M1).
looks like a nice camera, and the price looks right :)
Another mirrorless camera featuring a DSLR Envy Design. :-) Since you can't beat them, try to look like them.
best of both worlds why not.
It's a SLR design (OM). You could see that if you know a thing about the history of photography.
Olympus should stop copying themselves.
Why? Should Porsche stop making cars that look like original 911? Once you get a good design - you keep using it and only make incremental improvements.
If people buy it and like it, it's a good design. If it's functional and makes sense on paper but people don't buy it and don't like it, it's a bad design.
I just thought that, with all the anti-DSLR ranting from some mirrorless enthusiasts, that mirrorless cameras that look like DSLRs was somewhat ironic.
Because Joe Public represents the pinnacle of logic. Put it another way; 200 years ago, what constitutes modern art today would have been burned. Now, it's art. Has the art changed?
@RichRMA: YES
If any cameras suffering from envy it is all the DSLRs, and most acutely so, the Nikon Df, as they all try to look like a classic SLR!
And it works nicely for the Stylus 1 as well, so why not? ;)
JustinMN the defining feature of the DSLR is not it's shape - its a flapping mirror.
That's why they call them SLRs instead of BOTTS (bump on the top surface) cameras.
You do realise that it is actually possible to put a DSLR VF elsewhere don't you?
The reason it is where it is, is because it is practical.
Same for the OMD series - top center is a fairly practical place to have a VF, especially when the screen and controls are taking all the other logical places.
Very good high iso pics. Colors appear natural . Good detail. Good price. This camera with the available lens lineup surely could keep a lot of people happy.
All currently available Micro Four Thirds cameras suffer from too many/too small pixels on their sensors, resulting in worse signal-nosie-ratios and limited high ISO/dynamic range compared to its APS-C competitors. In these days, there's not even a size or cost advantage of Olympus OM-D series over Sony's, Fuji's and Samsung's mirrorless offerings.
MFT could be much more competitive if Megapixels were cut. An MFT camera with a 9 Megapixel sensor could be as good in color, dynamic range and high ISO as a Nikon D800 with its 36 Megapixels (if one considers that MFT has 25% of full frame's sensor surface).
To bad the 16MP m4/3 sensors beat all the Canon APS-C sensors.
Unless you are comparing them by the Image Quality each produces!
Canon APS-C is 5 year old sensor technology. That doesn't really count. (Although it still beats OM-D in low light ISO, http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Olympus-OM-D-E-M1-versus-Canon-EOS-70D___909_895.)
This is more telling:
And concerning image quality: We're not talking about JPEG, aren't we?
A 16 Megapixel Micro-Four-Thirds sensor has about the same pixel size/area as a 24 Megapixel APS-C Sensor. And the current OM-D sensors even beat the 18 Megapixel APS-C Sensor Canon has used the past years which are supposed to have larger pixels.
Also, the size advantage is still there, although Sony's offerings are coming close, however, Sony's NEX lenses are much larger than the Micro-Four-Thirds lenses. You have to take into account the lenses too, not just the body.
@ cantsin...
You're absolutely right.
There is no size advantage over Sony, Fuji, or Samsung's camera body offerings.... until you add a lens.
And you pretty much need a lens to take a photo.
So this point is very relevant.
Using that logic, APS should go back to 6 megapixel sensors so their pixels aren't smaller than a FF with 16 megapixels. This isn't 2003, it's 2014.
@Marty4650: my Sony FE 35/2.8 is about the same size and weight as my Olympus 17/1.8 (35/3.6 equivalent). Guess which lens renders nicer images?
Mike, bravo you have find the one and only lens that is about the same size as its m4/3 counterpart. What about the other lenses for your A7? Lol. By the way, the Olympus is a lot cheaper, a lot faster, and has a very nice snapshot focusing. On the other hand the Sony is weather sealed I think.
@Marty4650 , yes this is why there is no competition to pentax Q on size advantage. It thrashes m43 on this soundly. Pentax Q is a system m43 wished it could.
Why would you ever want a lens faster than f2.8?
Why not make them all f4 so they'll be even smaller!
Sorry, people, but I don't buy the lens size advantage argument either. A Sigma 30mm/2.8 is as small as an MFT lens, yields fantastic quality (without any software-corrected distortions), and has the DoF of an MFT 20mm/2.0 lens. Alternatively, if you don't mind manual operation, you can use rangefinder lenses like the Voigtlander 35mm/1.4 that are even smaller.
DPR wrote: "compare the E-M10 to a growing list of cameras in our new studio test scene. "
Your comparison is useless, for ISO 25,600 you use f/5.6 1/2500s on E-M10 and f/5.6 1/5000s on E-M1. Whole stop difference in exposure!
The E-M10 can't shoot at 1/5000th, so we had to reduce the lighting by 1EV.
"The E-M10 can't shoot at 1/5000th, so we had to reduce the lighting by 1EV."
Or you could have stopped down to F/8 to get 1/2500 on both of them ...
f/8 on 4/3 sensor is well into diffraction territory. Why add another variable to the test by using a different f-stop which presumably offers lower resolution than f/5.6? Total light gathered is what affects noise performance so adding a stop of exposure but cutting the light by 1EV was the proper choice given the limitations imposed by the camera.
Dpreview has been changing the light levels for a long time to compensate for differences in sensor response or limitations in the camera's exposure time. This has the unfortunate result of masking noticeable sensor differences.
RichRMA, how do you conclude that changing light levels masks sensor differences? As long as the lights are well controlled, cutting a stop of exposure from the lighting while adding a stop of exposure time will yield an identical result.
Or you could have reduced lighting to allow to test all cameras, even those with only 1/2000s shutters.
I guess the PEN line is officially dead. Aside from a stripper entry model, there's really no room for it in the current Oly lineup. And, it doesnt make sense for a small player like Oly to have ore models than Canon or Nikon.
It's not they don't like the PEN line. It's just that they are not selling as well. The market that is willing to pay wants the OMD form factor with the EVF on top just like an DSLR.
PENs are selling perfectly well in Asia. That is why they sell E-PL6 there and nowhere else, just like Canon with its EOS M2.
A 'stripper entry model' sounds great.
There probably should be two Pen models for their entry level, and for people who don't feel the need for an EVF.
The EP5 makes absolutely no sense now. Once you add an optional EVF, you are almost at the price of the flagship EM1.
Once you add an optional EVF to even the cheapest Pen, you now are spending as much as buying an EM10. So the Pen line is now strictly relegated to the entry level.
Peevee1 - The M2 is a Japanese only model. They are not sold in Asia outside of Japan. Plus, the EPL6 is not exactly selling like hot cake either.
@peeveee currently e-pl6 is in stores in all major camera in holland, and they are selling 100 euros cheaper than e-pl5 !
compared to the Nikon DF the IQ of the EM1 is not bad @ all. Or is is my unexperienced view of things? Looked at the low light test, with enough sunlight most cameras perform well I guess?
So aside from the default grip, some button placement and customization quirks, it's a homerun.
What about REAL Olympus ISO ? I read in a few places that E-M5 (and probably E-M10) have ISO lower about 1EV ! (that's why noise is so low).
Can you compare exposure parameters on test scene with some other cameras? (like Canon DSLR)
From the E-M5 review on this site:
"By our tests, the E-M5's measured sensitivities are about 1/3 stop lower than indicated across the ISO range (i.e. images are fractionally darker than expected for any given set of exposure values). A discrepancy this small has little practical impact in real world use but means the camera will be slightly flattered in our tests."
The E-M1 review had a similar note but it said that the measured ISO was just right so there was no need for consideration.
Given that we can expect the noise section of the E-M10 review to have a similar note if necessary. Likely it will match the E-M5 performance and thus need a similar mental note when comparing.
All that said, it seems to me that Fuji still has the lead on outrageously-inaccurate ISO measurements (1/3-1/2 stop on the X-E1 instead of "about 1/3").
razorre - talk of Olympus being out by a whole stop stem from a misunderstanding of the data DxO presents.
We've measured the ISO sensitivity of the E-M5 and E-M1, and the biggest discrepancy we've experienced is 1/3EV.
It's hugely dissappointing to keep hearing about how complex it is to enable the SCP or to change any other configuration parameters. Anybody who has owened a recent Olympus camera will find it quickly and for anyone else there are the forums. This is not a deal breaker by any stretch...
Reading all these reviews in succession certainly makes the constant refrain a bit tedious, and the fact that it makes it into the "downsides" just seems overblown. You are saying that you love the SCP and find it invaluable, which is a GOOD thing about this camera isn't it?
If nothing else it implies to me that the OM-D are truly excellent cameras with almost no important issues, since apparently one of it's biggest flaws is a great feature everyone loves :P
The EM-10 has the SCP Super Control Panel enabled from first turn on. It is detailed in the manual as the way to interact with the camera. It is ready for immediate use!
In EU, I related to 3 sellers in person. All three showed the SCP was ON by default in the EM10!
By default you get the screen mode version of SCP - an interactive panel instead of live view. Switch to live view and pressing the 'info' button brings up the early-90s-compact-camera-style interface.
Engaging SCP as the main means of changing settings is an awkward affair. We have to review for people who aren't existing Olympus owners. Our point is that the E-M10 can be set up to be one of the engaging cameras in its class, for keen photographers, but if you pick it up in a camera store, you may not realise this.
I saw a video on Youtube where there is an eyecup that extends out. I have not been able to find the manufacturer.
Guess you are thinking of the Samsung NX30. //Per
Olympus make one, as do third parties. Try the Olympus site or EBay.
Panasonic GX7?
This one extend back something like 7-10mm (estimated).
With on the EM5 is a problem, because the eyecups fall of every 3 minutes.
It's nice to use, but easy to knock off - at least that's what I found.
I'm now wondering if that eyecup will fit the E-M5 as well. Of course everybody who owns an E-M5 has dealt with the "vanishing" eyecup. I think the depth / length of that eyecup is perfect and not too long like the EP-11.
got word from Olympus Japan:
Unfortunately the eyecup EP-14 with E-M10 is not available on
E-M5. In addition to this, the grip ECG-1 only fits on E-M10.
Even though it is written in Japanese, you could try to refer to
the following page about the newest eyecup compatibility tables
for all OM-D products.
[Eyecup compatibility tables - Olympus Imaging Japan]
We are sorry that we can not be more helpful to this matter.
Thank you for taking time to write us, and we are looking forward
to having your continued support.
Apparently the D7000 eyecup fits and stays on.
I've been through about 6 Oly ones so far.
I actually don't have an eye cup more than I do.
I love the camera but the eyecup makes me angry.
Just got mine at ritz!!! Sweet deal!
Does the m10 has a AA-Filter like the M1 or nor?
Some pages say yes, some no?!
for me this could be the best-value m4/3 so far! beautiful, compact, well built, good IQ and an okay grip.
but i hate to say that i actually prefer panasonic's jpeg rendering, so that i might go for a used GX1 instead and wait for a future EM6. i prefer a little grittyness any time over the smudgyness and over-processed look of the olympus jpegs. or does the lowest NR + sharpening settings solve this problem?
unfortunately, design-wise the GF6 and GX7 look horrendous against the olympus beauties. something went wrong recently in the Panasonic design dpt. the GM1 is pretty cool, but unfortunately handles like a p&s, or, rather a little soap bar (love the lense though). however, i found the grip on the (black) E-M5 still too slippery. maybe the one with the leather texture on the EM10 is better? in my secret dreams however i imagine a M4/3rds-version of a Pentax Q or a Ricoh G(X)R...
the grip is horrible and operation not good.
they should have abandoned this design and work from E-M1 for a more compact and better one. feel sorry for Oly.
Larry, you are right, finally a nice Olympus alternative to the Panasonic G6. Don't mind Yabokkie, he is just a sad person trolling all the m4/3 reviews/news. Feel sorry for him and hope he will find a good psychologist soon.
Any evidence of shock/vertical blur like the E-P5? I tried two different E-P5's and had horrible luck in the telephoto range at anything below 1/250s. If the E-M10 & 3-axis stabilization behaves better then I am sold!!
Where is my twist & swivel, eh?

Create A Budget: The foremost way that lead to considerable savings on grocery shopping is to prepare a budget. Set a maximum limit beyond which you won't be permitting yourself to spend on weekly grocery and food items. From knowledge of amount spent in previous week or month plus deducting the amount on unnecessary items; create a weekly/monthly budget. Consider shopping for food coupons to gain benefit in this regard.
Make A Menu Plan: It's quite obvious to prepare a list of items before shopping for them. Not only this; prepare a weekly menu of what you are going to cook the coming week. This will not only cancel out any extra trip to the market but one would certainly not end up buying unnecessary things. Not only this; you will be more strategic regarding the food items used. In other words; make menu by estimating for how many days you will dine at home and subtract the meals accordingly. In this way you will not be cooking what you brought; but will be buying according to your cooking plan.
Cut Back, Substitute And Go Veggie: Snacking is the food expense we always overlook. Part with junk food, snacks and other stuff and this will not only slash grocery bills but will also allow one to stay healthy. Substitute water for soda and doing it just once a day will let you shed $30 per month. Trim meat, fish, chicken and stick to vegetarian diet; or consume it twice or thrice a month only. Substitute tofu for expensive chicken breasts or meat. Best is to use meat as an accent in meals if you can't skip it. Another great ways to save money is to pop up popcorns at home instead of buying a bag from market. Buy dry beans instead of canned. Remember meat occupy significant portion of our bills and skipping it can make a huge difference!!!
Shop Weekly And Alone: One way to end pricey impulse buys is to limit shopping trip to just once a week. But for this one has to prepare a list of items needed for next 7 days so that you would be visiting market once a week only. Moreover leave your spouse and kids at home and save yourself from the headache of buying energy drinks, Choco chips for them and spending unnecessary dollars.
Buy In Bulk: Buying grocery and food items in bulk are always the cheapest way one can rely on to incur hefty savings. Save considerable amount of money by purchasing those items in bulk you consume the most. But be cautious of perishable items as one won't like overflowing pantry with decayed items stinking all over the house. Consider shopping clubs, local farmer's market that offer items at wholesale rates; you will be saving double!!! Moreover check out sales season in local departments to enjoy considerable savings.
Power of Coupons: Cut grocery bills to half by clipping coupons but make sure not to buy a product simply because you have a coupon. Take their double advantage by matching store sales with relevant coupons. Best is to wait for a sale and then use them. Moreover simply piling those may prevent you to use the opportunity due to their expiry dates; so organize and use coupons smartly. Grab Cooking.com coupons and Chefs coupons from CouponAlbum to slash down those bills and enjoy hefty savings all year long.
Go For Local Brands: Always buy store-brand products instead of national brands. They are just as good as latter ones and inexpensive too. It's fine not to compromise for quality of certain items like buying one's favorite brand of detergent but going generic would be the best part when it comes to saving bucks. So simply go for supermarket store branded products to enjoy huge savings.
Say No To Prepared Foods: Get in the habit of purchasing the ingredients instead of canned and frozen foods. They may be convenient to prepare but are really expensive. Save every penny by neglecting ready-made popcorns, frozen pizzas, soups, juices and consider healthier option of making them at home itself. Well there are a few exceptions. For example it's wiser to use ready-made tomato puree when prices of tomatoes are high.
Celebrate The Leftovers: One of the best bet to save money is using leftovers. Pack leftovers in containers and use them for the next meal. Make sure to freeze them in freezer rather than in fridge where these items are forgotten about. Casserole meals are not only yummy to consume for more than one time but they are sure to save few dollars. Creatively use the leftovers in several new dishes; for example using leftover vegetables in soups, salads and more. Do consider easy leftover recipes. If the leftovers are questionable; throw them away. Also consume them within 2-3 days.
Own a Garden: Nothing beats this when people want to really save some big bucks. If you don't own a garden; small porch area would be sufficient to grow some vegetables and herbs. Growing tomatoes, onions, garlic, pepper, broccoli, sprouts, beans etc. would not only be rewarding in terms of money saving but these home-grown stuff will be add extra nutritional crunch in your daily diet when compared to store-brought food items.

"Right Sizing – moving from a large Class A Motorhome to a smaller, more manueverable Class C or B+ Motorhome"
Many RVers realize that with the rising cost of fuel, both gasoline and diesel, that it just makes sense to 'right-size' into a slightly smaller motorhome. At NeXus RV, the Class B+ and Class C Motorhomes that we build are competing directly with the larger Class A Motorhomes that other manufacturers offer. Our RVs offer improved drivability, maneuverability, and are much easier to service than a Class A. In addition to that, NeXus offers a unique construction philosophy which includes using steel instead of aluminum in the construction of the motorhome. Lab tests have confirmed that our steel sidewalls are 72% stronger than the aluminum sidewalls offered by our competition, with only a slight increase in weight. All of our Class B+ and C Motorhomes also include driver and passenger airbags, something not usually offered with larger Class A's. With a NeXus RV, you will not only go further for less, you will get there safely, because safety is a top priority at NeXus.
NeXus RV's also offer the same luxury as the larger Class A Motorhomes. We use only top quality components in the construction of your motorhome, ensuring that you will travel in style and comfort. The luxurious appointments start with the furniture and appointments of each floorplan. The seven foot interior ceiling of our Phantom and the Maxx comfort furniture allows you to feel like you are at home. NeXus RV uses only the highest quality components, such as furniture, flooring, countertops, and fabric. The superior components continue with the Clarion touch screen DVD/Mp3/iPod Player, available GPS navagation and back-up camera and monitor, Vizio LCD TV's with Sound Bars, and available satelite packages. When you 'right-size' into a NeXus RV you will feel like you have upgraded from your previous unit, becuase NeXus RV will not compromise on the quality of components used in the construction of your motorhome.
NeXus RV also offers the ability to customize your new motorhome. You choose your interior fabrics, flooring style, cabinet finishes (cherry wood or glazed maple), and paint and graphics color and style. In the end you will end up with a motorhome that is not only the 'right size', but is also built specifically for you. Your motorhome will be exactly the way you want it to be. In short, 'We build your dream'. And don't forget, that we sell it to you factory direct, saving you thousands by eliminating the 'middle man'. And we offer a nationwide service network, so you are covered for service no matter where in the United States you happen to be. We will also take your Class A in trade twoards the purchase of your new Phantom or Viper. 'Right-Sizing' into a NeXus RV Class B+ or C Motorhome is the smart choice for any RVer who wants to enjoy the luxury of a Class A Motorhome while obtaining the drivability and savings of a Class B+ or C Motorhome. Contact NeXus RV today to find out more!

Patrick Wolff Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
Patrick Wolff is founder of Grandmaster Capital, the first hedge fund seeded by Peter Thiel. Thiel is a well-known Silicon Valley leader and investor. Grandmaster is a fundamentals based long/short equity manager with some macroeconomic analysis added in a layer supported, in part, by Wolffs relationship with Thiel. He recently spoke with Greg de Spoelberch for Opalesque TV on his outlook for 2013.
"The U.S. has relatively stable macroeconomic fundamentals, the U.S. economy is recovering, the U.S. can decouple to some degree from the rest of the world so long as there is not a full on 2008 style financial contagion, and it's a good place to look for businesses whose earnings are mostly tied to the United States," he says by way of explaining one of his current investing themes fortress USA.
This theme highlights how the macroeconomic overlay Wolff applies to his equities strategy plays into which stocks he picks. He says right now, Grandmaster is focused on US-based, US revenue driven stocks over more global companies because the economic factors outside the US like Europe or the commodities super cycle are too risky.
Rather than just looking at the current macroeconomic context, Wolff goes out 150-200 years, looking at cycles over the very long term to come away with his insights. "In the last 150-200 years of emerging market growth, what you see is a......................
