Olympus's original entry-level OM-D — 16.1MP MFT with IBIS and EVF in a compact retro body.
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 (original, 2014) was the entry-level OM-D body, featuring a 16.1MP Live MOS sensor and 3-axis IBIS (3.5 stops) in the smallest OM-D form. Maximum video is 1080/30fps — the original E-M10 does not offer 4K. Built-in 1,440K-dot OLED EVF (1.15x). BLS-5 battery (approximately 320 shots CIPA). At approximately 396g with battery and card.
16.1MP Four Thirds Live MOS sensor (17.3×13mm). 1080/30fps video maximum — no 4K (4K was added from E-M10 Mark II onward). Built-in 1,440K-dot OLED EVF (1.15x magnification, 120Hz). 3-axis IBIS rated 3.5 stops. BLS-5 battery (~320 shots CIPA). Approximately 396g with battery and card. Micro Four Thirds mount.
The original E-M10 introduced the OM-D aesthetic at the lowest price point in 2014: 3-axis IBIS (less than the 5-axis of the E-M5/E-M1) but sufficient for everyday handheld use. The 16.1MP sensor is the same 16MP Live MOS generation used in the E-M5 original. The 1080/30fps video cap and 3-axis IBIS (versus 5-axis in the E-M10 Mark II onward) distinguish it from subsequent iterations.
On the used market the Olympus OM-D E-M10 original is very affordable as the entry-level vintage OM-D. Condition checks: BLS-5 battery health (shared with E-PL/PEN series), EVF display quality, IBIS operation. No 4K. 3-axis IBIS. Compatible with all Micro Four Thirds lenses.
