In the wake of a relatively quiet year for new cameras, OM System, a brand spun off from Olympus in 2021 and now an independent company, has introduced the OM System PEN. This new camera design boasts a 20MP sensor, in-body image stabilisation, and weather-sealing when paired with the right lens. The most impressive feature is the introduction of a weather-sealed 14-42mm kit lens, making this the most affordable weather-sealed mirrorless camera on the market.
Priced at $999/£849 for the body only or $1099/£949 with the 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III lens, the OM System PEN offers exceptional value for money.
The camera features a 20MP Four Thirds Live-MOS sensor that operates at ISO200-6400 (with extended ISO64/100-25600), delivering 5-30fps continuous shooting (with a mech shutter at 5fps and 8fps with C-AF, and a fixed 30fps). Its 2.36m-dot, 0.62x viewfinder and 3inch, 1.04m-dot vari-angle touchscreen provide intuitive controls. Additionally, the camera offers 4K 30p video recording and Full HD 120p (S&Q), as well as vertical video capabilities.
The OM System PEN comes equipped with a fully articulated touchscreen and includes an electronic viewfinder, 3inch touchscreen, and built-in microphone socket. The camera is designed to be user-friendly and can be easily handled with one hand, featuring easily accessible controls, buttons, and dials on the right side. The Micro Four Thirds lens mount allows for a wide range of lenses to be used with the camera.
