Product features in detail |
Sensor The PEN-F boasts a new 20.3 megapixel live MOS sensor without a low pass filter that provides 25% better resolution. High resolution shot capability increases the resolution to 50 megapixels. In addition, it includes a Supersonic Wave Filter that automatically cleans the sensor by shaking off any dust that settles on the lens during lens changes. ISO The Olympus PEN-F's features a 1/8000 second shutter and ISO 80 equivalent for shooting in bright conditions and produces low noise with enhanced dynamic range. ISO sensitivity ranges from 80-25,600. The category-leading 5-axis image stabilisation system is worth 5 EV stops when shooting at low ISO. Design Olympus have taken great care to ensure the PEN-F leads the way in terms of beautiful craftsmanship and is sure to be a collector's item of the future. The best of contemporary and retro styles have been combined, using high-quality luxurious materials to create a timeless and stylish design. It includes a leather-like camera surround, engraved brand name, and hatched dial surfaces. As a nod to its iconic PEN predecessor, it features the classic ‘step-up' contour silhouette and no screw heads are visible whatsoever. Not only is it lighter, more compact, and more portable than much larger DSLRs, but it is much better looking too. EVF The built-in 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for rangefinder-style shooting provides a real-time preview of settings adjustments, with preview, focusing assistance with focus peaking and 0.62x magnification. Creative Dial The new beautiful, metal Creative Dial on the PEN-F provides direct access to an expanded range of advanced onboard filter options, including Art Filters, Colour Creator, and two new options - namely Monochrome Profile Control, and Colour Profile Control. Fast response The PEN-F boasts swift autofocus and processing speeds, and has the shortest release time lag in its category - faster even than those found on DSLR cameras. focusing Autofocus is very quick on the PEN-F. Eye Detect autofocus is available, as well as touch-panel access to point focusing, which increases focusing speed. |

Our Verdict
The Olympus PEN-F is a beautifully designed mirrorless camera that produces equally impressive images. The Creative Dial feature makes adding filters quick and simple, and its category-leading release time lag and 5-axis image stabilisation system means that even more expensive digital SLR cameras should be feeling threatened, as the PEN-F punches well above its weight.
