This camera is a well-built, stylish and well-specced camera with very fast focusing and impressive image quality. It is perhaps styled more towards the female photographer, but the black or silver/black versions are likely to appeal to all.

Hardware is really good in Olympus as compare to previous models, improved LCDs, battery life and shutter shake makes it good deal.

With fun features such as a "selfie screen", pared down controls and a user-friendly interface, the Olympus PEN E-PL7 is primarily aimed at point-and-shoot users. However, experienced photographers can find plenty of depth to keep their interest, with enough manual control to feel serious, and with...

Looks great; excellent touchscreen; improved handling; Wi-Fi works a treat; selfie screen if you fancy it

Incremental improvements for the series; detail lacks at high-ISO settings; Auto ISO has limited use

I saw a pre-production model of this unit back in the summer. Now finally as winter grips us all the chance to review it arrives. For me a first, a removable lens camera marketed with the ability to take selfies high on its tick list.

a great little camera, highly recommended

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

With its wide range of features, the Olympus E-PL7 can wear a point-and-shoot cloak or serve as a highly sophisticated interchangeable lens camera. In testing, the E-PL7 has proved itself a worthy competitor to cameras like the Sony a6000.

Good still image quality; Easy to use Wi-Fi; Fast autofocus; Responsive touch-screen LCD

No built-in electronic viewfinder, and add-on EVF is pricey; Custom menu and custom options buried deep within the camera

I'm using E-PL7 for few weeks now and didn't want to write review before I used it for some time. I payed it $480 (body only), what is very good price compared to E-M10 which costs $774 (body only). I still don't understand why so much difference in price between Olympus models in some countries.

Olympus' replacement for the 2-year-old PEN E-PL5 may look similar to its predecessor, but Olympus made a lot of significant changes for the E-PL7, mostly to incorporate newer technology that's since debuted in its OM-D line of interchangeable-lens cameras.

With its flexible display; great set of controls and generally streamlined design; the Olympus PEN E-PL7 hits quite a few high notes

It might be a little too complicated for newbies; and the grip could be bigger

The Olympus E-PL7 is a 16-megapixel compact system camera with a Micro Four Thirds sensor. It's the smaller, cheaper, more stylish alternative to the company's very popular OM-D cameras.

Great sensor performance; Charming retro design; Decent touchscreen

Underwhelming video capture; Not ideal for bigger hands; Odd tilt-under screen

There are lots of things to praise and very little to criticise about the E-PL7. It's not short of competition, though, and the price is currently double that of the Samsung NX3000 .
