X-E4vs OM-1 IIvs ZV-E10 II
Which should you buy?
Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
Wildlife & Action — OM-1 II (2024): 120fps burst, 8-stop IBIS, and IP53 sealing — the most capable wildlife and action camera in the Micro Four Thirds world.
Youtube & Content Creation — ZV-E10 II (2024): Designed from the ground up for solo creators — every control in the right place, 4K/60p, and a directional mic built in.
