Best for
A characterful compact PEN - Olympus's early-generation MFT design styled after their classic film PEN rangefinders. 12MP sensor is modest by modern standards but delivers the characteristic Olympus colour. IBIS is valuable for hand-held shooting with any lens. Still a good entry into the MFT system.
