SUMMARY

The OM System PEN revives the popular retro PEN series with a compact, durable mirrorless camera designed for beginners and everyday use. It features a 20.4MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and TruPic IX processor, similar to higher-end models, but is priced affordably. Notably, it includes weather-sealing (IPX1 splashproof) and 5.5-stop in-body image stabilization, features rarely found in its price bracket. The camera also offers computational photography modes, a rangefinder-style viewfinder, and 4K video capabilities, aiming to honor the PEN legacy while appealing to modern photographers.
