Listen to the Moose as regards camera and lenses. I too have never seen an E-M10 and have paid it little attention
since my attention is more to an E-M1. (but after reading Moose's comments about EVF and shutter maybe I should pay it
more attention)
Other than the ergonomics of the (relatively) huge grip, which seems retrogressive to me, and rejiggered buttons, I
can't see why someone who doesn't have any old 4/3 lenses would want an E-M1.
That Oly chose to fully accommodate all those with stables of 4/3 lenses is certainly admirable. DPReview's tests
suggest that the effort is pretty successful, but not without limitations and not as good as native µ4/3 lenses. Follow
focus does appear to be improved. <http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympus-om-d-e-m1/8> And it adds a larger, higher rez
EVF, but I am notoriously unfussy about viewfinders.
I personally can't see any point in paying the cost in $$, size and weight for a camera that doesn't do anything
important to me any better than the ones I have.
For now, I'm semi-excited at the prospect of an E-M5II, with WiFi and the other bits of goodies introduced in the E-M1,
E-P5 and E-M10. I'm also a little worried that they will up the sensor MP too much and in the process lose their IQ edge.
As to the E-M10 features you mention:
Shutter shock was already less of an issue, and further addressed in a firmware update.

The EVF is the same rez as the E-M5, not the larger on of the M1, while the LCD
is higher rez:
"- the rear screen is a noticeable improvement, as is the inclusion of the 'Adaptive Brightness' viewfinder technology
first introduced in the E-M1. This brightens and darkens the viewfinder panel, based on the ambient lighting conditions.
As a result, the viewfinder ends up being bright in bright light without then being blinding in low light. It's a little
thing (to the point that you don't necessarily notice it happening), but it helps provide a more OVF-like experience."
Good, Bad Moose
