What a gem! Beautifully made, and once you have set it up so that you can access the 'Super Control Panel' it becomes an OM-D, just without the viewfinder. In fact it is more capable than my EM5 in several respects.

I have always had Olympus cameras since I bought my first camera when I was 11. This camera does not disappoint. I am loving this for its WiFi feature which makes it so easy to transfer photos. It takes great photos in most lighting situations, haven't used the flash attachment yet.

I really like the PEN like from Olympus as I think it is the most true in size and form factor for the Micro 4/3rds line. I also have the flagship OM-D EM1, however so I'm a bit spoiled by the feature set. Still, for all around shooting, the PL7 is a sweet camera.

Replacing the E-PL6, the Olympus E-PL7 is a retro-styled mid-range 16MP Compact System Camera that sits below the O-MD E-M10 in the Olympus line-up.

Quite pricey

Having previously owned an SLR camera, I became increasingly frustrated with the bulk of my camera and how difficult it was to carry on holiday. I had considered a bridge camera but I wanted to be able to change my lenses, which was when I stumbled upon the Olympus PEN, recommended as a camera for...

Compact; great settings for beginners; ability to change lenses

Not as much variety with lenses

One mighty PEN.

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

The Olympus E-PL7 brings significant upgrades to the popular PEN "lite" mirrorless camera line, most notably in the form of improved ergonomics and a more professional feel, bringing it more in line with the flagship E-P5.
