The editors liked
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
Maitani-san's legacy lives on Even though it isn't a perfect digital recreation of the original, this new PEN-F is a stylish, solidly constructed piece of kit that we think enthusiasts will adore. Cynics might dismiss this as a slimmer, more stylish O...
Olympus PEN F – Performance and AF The PEN F is very quick to use, breezing through playback and switching on pretty much instantaneously. If you leave the camera in the “on” position and don't touch it for some time, it will automatically switch off – yo...
Gorgeous design, Compact and sturdy, Highly customisable control setup
Not a huge improvement over the cheaper E-M5 II
Spec-wise, the PEN-F is very similar to the OM-D E-M5 II Olympus launched last year. It has a slightly different sensor (the E-M5 II has 16MP), but many of the same features and functions. The OM-D E-M5 II is a little cheaper, but the PEN-F has style and...
Abstract: While we did bring you news about the launching of the new Olympus PEN-F , we weren't able to give you our hands-on impressions on it. Well, that's something we're rectifying with this article.Certainly, the emphasis on design is very evident with the new...
The Pen-F checks all the right boxes to become a portable camera companion. It's clear that Olympus' has done some of their best work on the Pen-F, and it's a new classic for our age that would make its namesake proud.It is strikingly handsome, looking bo...

Abstract: I will be the first one to say that the Olympus Pen-F is one of the most handsome cameras out there. Modelled after the old Olympus Pen F of the 1960s, the new digital Pen-F has all the looks that its film-based predecessor possesses and then some.Looking...
Abstract: The new PEN-F feels extremely solid and well-constructed. Its stylish silver metallic and textured black body is a surefire way to stand out in a crowd.The PEN-F isn't easy to use though and can come across as confounding at first. For one, the camera is...
Good image quality, Excellent 5axis optical image stabilization, Quick and accurate autofocus, Controls are readily accessible
Details smudge in low light, Expensive in comparison

Abstract: The Olympus PEN-F represents a whole new PEN genre after the likes of the company's flagship E-P and entry-level E-PL mirrorless camera series. The PEN-F is easily the most beautiful PEN. Available in silver or black (version tested), it retains the seri...
