Great design, Articulating touchscreen, Fast performance, Built-in stabilization, Ideal for beginners

Poor manual controls, Some confusing operation
The Olympus PEN E-PL9 is, for the most part, the same mirrorless camera as the E-PL8, but adds a built-in flash and 4K video.

Snappy autofocus. 8.5fps burst shooting. In-body image stabilization. 4K video. Slim, attractive design. Tilting touch LCD. Built-in flash. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Aging 16MP image sensor. No EVF or add-on option. 4K video not easily accessible. Small Raw shooting buffer.
The Olympus PEN E-PL9 is a solid if modest refresh over its predecessor the E-PL8, which is already a versatile camera.Despite its plastic build, the E-PL9 feels like a solid bit of kit, which is more than can be said of some other entry-level CSCs.
The latest Olympus PEN camera is designed for social media bloggers who want 4K movie recording and plenty of built-in special effects.
This is an entry level interchangeable lens camera system. Of course as you probably know it uses the micro 43 sensor mount system. This one is the same 16 megapixel version found in several OMD and PEN bodies.
Great camera and amazing picture quality. Light and compact.
