Highresolution EVF
New 20MP sensor
External controls and build quality
The new sensor gives a little extra resolution over the former 16mp units in Olympus cameras
And does so without any tradeoff in digital noise. Image quality is altogether outstanding. And the little knob on the front of the camera that selects colour

The Olympus PEN-F is fast
Delivers great photos in a streamlined body and offers a nice feature set
The editors didn't like
Expensive compared to other PEN models
Tilting screen might be better for street photography
The memory card slot is on the base of the camera where its cover is fouled by a tripod
The camera lacks a grip and video is not one of Olympus' strong suits. Plus
It really should be at least modestly dust- and weather-sealed for the money
Here's a Digital PEN model that's as desirable as any OM-D. OK, so the PEN-F's premium pricing puts it in the same league as the top-of-the-line E-M1 which boasts, among other things, a weather-sealed bodyshell, the convenience of a centralised EVF and th...

Excellent photo quality and performance and a system with tiny, fast prime lenses make the Olympus PEN-F a great camera for street photography...

With the lovely Pen F we enter the difficult decision making process where the head and the heart conflict. The heart says Olympus. Only the beautiful Nikon Df of 2013 comes close in retro aesthetics. And the Olympus works as sweetly as it looks. But… It...
The entire design concept behind the PEN-F is aimed at JPEG shooters who are active on social media. There's nothing wrong with this as it enables a traditionally-styled camera to meet the needs of the modern user.The addition of a decent EVF, which is bu...
Many photographers will welcome the arrival of the PEN-F, not only because it introduces a built-in EVF to the PEN range but also because it is currently the highest-resolution Olympus mirrorless camera available. Its 20.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor matche...
Highresolution EVF, New 20MP sensor, External controls and build quality
Expensive compared to other PEN models, Tilting screen might be better for street photography
The PEN-F is a deliberately beautiful camera that's not just built for show. Inside is a brand new 20MP sensor and enough processing power for 10fps continuous shooting and full HD video at 60/50fps. It's a small camera packed with controls but it just do...
20-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, 2.26-million dot EVF, Classic camera controls and styling
Some control quirks and glitches, Plastic buttons on rear, Expensive
The PEN-F is an excellent camera with bags of features, plus lots of scope for customisation of both the controls and the appearance of the images it produces. It may take you a while to work through the various options and optimise it for the way you wan...
