True to its roots, this new PEN combines power and portability.

Austin turned out to be an awesome place to take pictures with the new Pen-F. Olympus made sure there was no shortage of subjects from day one. When left to my own devices, I found subjects to photograph at every turn. How does the Olympus Pen-F compare to other mirrorless cameras? Very favorably.
