Minuses:
  • 3-axis IBIS

Not an issue in my opinion. Of course, I haven't seen how the 5-axis behaves against the 3-axis, but I'm already very satisfied with the 3-axis. I even stopped using Panasonic OIS for IBIS.

  • smaller battery with less capacity and a different charger

Not a big issue either, just grab a second battery, and keep it in your bag. I got a 3rd party for 12 $ and lasts as much as the OEM.

  • not weather sealed

Might be an issue, if you shoot in wet conditions. Are all your lenses weather sealed as well? Is not, then is not a biggie.

Does the E-M10 have the same slow wakeup from sleep mode as the E-M5?

Like half a sec on mine, how much is the E-M5

Can the E-M10 still get banding with Panasonic 20mm f1.7? From my understanding it can, but the E-M1 is okay. I recently reluctantly bought an Olympus 25mm f1.8 to use for travel instead of the 20mm so this issue isn't as pressing as before, but it would be nice to be able to use my 20mm like I always intended when I bought it.

I've seen any banding whatsoever with neither the 20 1.7 or 14 2.5. Not even at very high ISOs in shadow areas. Not a bit.

Anything I missed? Any comments? Thanks!
