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

Camera with lens can be difficult to hold onto with one hand. An additional grip is needed for comfort and stability
Olympus launched the original PEN F in 1963. Much like modern gadgetry, the idea was to build a more compact and elegant camera. The result was a "half-frame" format that captured imagines on half of a 35mm film frame and doubled the amount of pictures on...
