OLYMPUS PEN-F – MODERN TECH IN A CLASSIC BODY

When you first look at the new Olympus Pen-F ($1200) you’ll probably think it’s a vintage shooter. But this newer version of the 35mm classic is all digital. The original was first sold in the early 1960s and was a major hit because of its simple design and small size. The latest version still uses a four thirds format sensor but now it utilizes 20MP to capture beautiful images. Additional features include:

  • 20MP Live MOS Four Thirds format sensor
  • 5-axis image stabilization with automatic panning detection
  • 2.36 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder
  • Up to 10 fps continuous shooting (20 fps with electronic shutter)
  • Highly customizable interface, twin controls
  • Fully articulating 1.04 million dot, 3″ LCD touchscreen
  • 50MP High-res Shot mode
  • 1/8000 sec top mechanical shutter speed (1/16,000 with e-shutter)
  • 1080/60p video recording

All of that tech is housed in a wonderfully vintage body that’s made out of machined aluminum and magnesium. To further the old school feel of the Pen-F, the body is wrapped in faux leather. The Olympus Pen-F will go on sale at the end of February, but B&H Photo is taking pre-orders right now.
