The OM SYSTEM PEN takes another route. It combines a compact, rangefinder-style body with a 20.4MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and an interchangeable lens mount, giving you the simplicity of an everyday camera without closing off what it might become. A built-in electronic viewfinder, five-axis stabilization, weather-resistant construction, creative profile controls, and computational photography features make this a small camera with unusually serious photographic possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy photographers love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA genuinely compact system camera:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PEN measures approximately 5 x 2.9 x 1.7 inches and weighs just 13.9 ounces with its battery and a memory card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA lens mount that keeps your options open:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose from a broad range of compact Micro Four Thirds lenses, from a simple 17mm everyday prime to portrait lenses, close-focusing options, and lightweight zooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA built-in electronic viewfinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2.36-million-dot OLED viewfinder makes composing in bright sunlight easier and brings the camera to your eye in a way many compact cameras cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive-axis image stabilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 5.5 stops of in-body stabilization helps keep handheld photographs sharp in lower light and works with every compatible Micro Four Thirds lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Color and Monochrome controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four customizable color profiles and four monochrome profiles let you shape color, contrast, grain, highlights, and shadows while you are making the photograph.

There are compact cameras with fixed lenses, and there are powerful mirrorless cameras that become less compact as soon as a lens is attached. Very few cameras this size combine a built-in viewfinder, effective stabilization, weather resistance, and access to such a mature collection of genuinely small lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would be easy to describe the PEN as a less expensive alternative to today’s fashionable fixed-lens cameras, but that misses its point. Put on a compact 17mm lens and it becomes a beautifully simple 34mm-equivalent everyday camera. Choose a 25mm, a small portrait lens, or a lightweight zoom when your photography asks for something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera remains compact. Your point of view does not have to remain fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a miniature flagship designed to win a contest based on sensor resolution or advanced video specifications. It is a stills-centered camera built around a more interesting question: what makes photography enjoyable? The viewfinder, physical controls, customizable image profiles, stabilized sensor, and small interchangeable lenses create a camera that encourages experimentation without making the equipment itself the center of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to know: This listing is for the camera body only; a lens and memory card are required and sold separately. The IPX1 weather-resistance rating applies when the camera is paired with a compatible dust- and splash-resistant lens. The PEN records DCI 4K video at 24p and UHD 4K at up to 30p, but its video system is 8-bit and is best suited to occasional rather than advanced production work. It has a microphone input but no headphone output, one UHS-I SD card slot, and no built-in flash. The included battery can be charged inside the camera through USB-C; an external BCS-7 charger is available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for: Street and travel photographers, everyday documentarians, families, first-time interchangeable-lens camera buyers, current Micro Four Thirds photographers looking for a smaller second body, and anyone attracted to a compact fixed-lens camera but unwilling to commit permanently to one focal length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s in the box: OM SYSTEM PEN Mirrorless Camera Body, BLS-7 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, body cap, hot shoe cover, and shoulder strap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OM SYSTEM | Olympus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53134101512512,"sku":"V210080SU000","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/6218\/8352\/files\/OMSYSTEMPENMirrorlessCamera_Silver_1.jpg?v=1789012814","url":"https:\/\/www.lookingglassphoto.com\/products\/om-system-pen-camera-body-silver","provider":"Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
