travel product review: olympus omd em10

I took this picture while the Olympus OMD EM10 was on automatic mode
as our plane was about to land at SJD. (Unedited)

I am not a photographer and do not know tech speak. But, I know I love traveling with the Olympus OMD EM10. (By the way, this is NOT a sponsored post.) Why?

I took this picture during sunrise in Bagan, Myanmar (unedited).

1. It is light. It is approximately 500 grams. That's very light. Lightness is very important to me because I hate checking in bags and I carry on everything with me.

The Olympus OMD EM10 has a decent size screen.

2. Despite its light weight, the quality of the photos are fantastic.

I took this picture on automatic mode one day in Cabo.

3. It takes very good video (and takes stills while shooting videos).

4. It has wifi capability so I get to transfer photos to my phone without inserting the SD card anywhere or attaching the camera to a computer.

It has Wifi,

5. It is pretty. I know, that prettiness is not a big consideration.... But, that's why it is low on the list.

For me, the only downside to getting this camera is the price. But, it does take pretty decent pictures and videos. If you like to stick to shooting in automatic mode, however, you will be paying for a very expensive point and shoot camera.

I took this picture of the Dead Sea in Israel during sunset (unedited).

What is your favorite travel camera and why?
