  "account": "OM System has released a new retro-style camera, the OM System PEN, which has proven to be incredibly popular leading to backorders in Japan. The brand new camera, priced at $999 / $849 / AU$1,499, boasts weather sealing, in-body image stabilization, and an electronic viewfinder, features usually associated with higher-end models. The camera is also capable of taking high-resolution shots, up to 80MP, and features advanced computational photography tools like 30fps pre-capture and software-driven neutral density filters. Despite these impressive specs, pre-orders in Japan may be delayed until November or later due to overwhelming demand. The camera is available in both black and silver, and comes with the OM System M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III kit lens and BLS-y battery.",
