OM System Olympus E-M10 Mark IV
The 20MP Live MOS sensor and 5-axis IBIS with 4.5 stops of shake compensation deliver sharp stills, while the flip-down touchscreen activates a dedicated selfie mode for instant framing. 16 Art Filters—including a nostalgic Instant Film effect—and always-on Bluetooth via the OI Share app make stylized photo sharing effortless. This camera is best for casual photographers and social media creators seeking a compact, retro-styled body with easy smartphone integration, though its limited video scores exclude heavy videography work.
