The E-P7 blends stunning looks with a tried-and-tested engine, making it ideal for beginners and travel photography. The lack of a viewfinder may be a deal-breaker for some, while vloggers may be underwhelmed by its lack of video-centric specs. But if you're looking for a stills camera, the E-P7 is capable of producing results that are as beautiful as it looks.

With the Pen-F, Olympus has come up with a rare thing in today’s market: a camera that has a distinct personality of its own. It’s perhaps not one that you’d choose on a rational analysis of specification and value for money.

Stunning styling and design make it a joy to use, Best image quality yet from a Four Thirds camera, Easy to adjust image processing settings on a shot-by-shot basis

Viewfinder is smaller than similarly priced competitors, Confusing menu makes some features difficult to access, No weather sealing

The gorgeous new Olympus PEN-F takes all of the latest cutting-edge features from the company's OM-D range, throws in a brand new 20-megapixel sensor, and and houses them inside one of the most beautifully realised camera bodies that we've ever had the pleasure to use.

The Olympus PEN-F is a stylish compact system camera, that backs up stylish design with advanced photographic features that includes a unique high resolution mode that can produce 50 megapixel images from the new 20 megapixel sensor.

This PEN is F-in’ mighty

Gorgeous design, Compact and sturdy, Highly customisable control setup

Not a huge improvement over the cheaper E-M5 II

There’s a lot about the Olympus PEN-F that should be applauded. It’s a very stylish camera with enough substance to lift it above being a fashion statement. The trouble is, with its £999 price point, it’s likely to remain a hard sell to those not won over by looks alone.

Olympus, or its new owner OM Digital Solutions, has introduced a very attractive little camera that makes a nice choice for travel. It has a great range of features and can produce good stills and video (provided you want to keep things simple on the video front), but the lack of a viewfinder is...
