Taken on its own merits, the Olympus PEN E-PL10 is, just like its predecessors, a great camera for travellers, vloggers and fashionistas. However, the problem is exactly that: the E-PL10 is just like its predecessors.

That makes it increasingly difficult to take the Olympus PEN E-PL10 on its own merits, because those merits come with a 2020 price tag – and almost the exact same merits are available on the 2019 model, which comes with a 2019 price tag.

Still, we’ve been big fans of the E-PL (‘PEN Lite’) line since the E-PL7 – and this latest iteration is undoubtedly one of the best travel cameras as well as one of the best vlogging cameras.
