Today Olympus announced the anticipated update to the E-M10 line, the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV.

This camera body, designed for beginner photographers, is a great tool for those ready to take a step up from phone photography.

While I have not personally used the E-M10 series and see it's limitations in megapixel size and shutter speed for my professional purposes, it appears to have great specs that would make it a great camera for someone just starting in photography who isn't ready to part with thousands of dollars to explore a new hobby. Say you get more into photography, all your lenses and bodies (Olympus, Panasonic, any M43 system) are compatible so you can scale up as your interest and budget grows. And I'll be jealous because I love the option to have a silver body (not available on E-M1 line) and every now and then, I wish I had a little pop up flash.

And now, through November 1, 2020  purchase a new OM-D E-M10 Mark IV and receive a free starter kit, consisting of an Olympus camera bag, extra BLS-50 battery and 32GB SD card. Available online at GetOlympus.com or through your local/online retailer.
