Forward facing 3:2 touch-screen., Self shot modes., Wifi with smartphone remote control., 3-axis in-body stabilisation.

Poor quality kit lens judging from two samples., Screen can’t flip forwards when tripod-mounted., Lack of touch buttons for changing selfie settings.
A likeable interchangeable-lens model, the Olympus PEN E-PL7's overall package makes an attractive alternative to an advanced compact and has quite a bit to offer as a first ILC.

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 compact and very portable ILC that provides very good image quality and performance. A great collection of lenses and creative shooting modes makes this camera a must see for the photography enthusiast. Read more in our Full Conclusion .

No built-in flash. Possible to forget external unit at home, No built-in OVF/EVF, although there is an optional EVF, Occasionally iAuto produced unreliable exposures with face detection
Much of the rest of the E-PL7 is familiar - it's based on a familiar sensor and the TruePic VII processor that offers very similar results to the chip used in the existing model. However, our early testing suggests the shutter shake isn't nearly as prominent as it had been on existing PEN models.
One mighty PEN.
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.
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...

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.
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 .
This latest offering from Olympus features the 16.1-million-pixel sensor that has proved popular in the OM-D E-M5, but as well as the sensor, the E-PL7 shares many of the features of the OM-D E-M10, minus a viewfinder and built-in flash.

Good-quality, 16.1-million-pixel Live MOS sensor, Metal frame with stylish design, Responsive touchscreen

Vulnerable and fiddly tilting screen, Small and tightly packed controls, No viewfinder
I can try and make my point with my review with countless words, using all kind of hurtful ideas like equivilancey and pixel pitch and what not - affordability? lens availability? combustibility? customizability? longativity? IDK. Many words, many pots to stir and watch how they boil and overflow...
It's not often you stumble across cameras like this. It's like a In several days of shooting (a few hundred frames) I haven't encountered an instance of "shutter shock." The improved shutter seems to have eliminated that particular issue. So I love this new capability that I have now.
