The Olympus E-PL9 is a new entry-level compact system camera that features a 16 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, a built-in flash, 3-axis in-camera image stabilisation, a tiltable LCD touchscreen, 4K video recording, TruePic VIII processor from the flagship OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera, and Bluetooth and Wi-fi connectivity.
We've spent a little time getting to know the Olympus PEN E-PL9, so check out our first impressions of this new mirrorless camera. . .
The Olympus OM-1 was a revolutionary camera that changed the single-lens reflex (SLR) camera market by offering impressive image quality in a compact, reliable form factor with (relatively) small, high-quality lenses to boot. dpreview.com »

By all means, the Olympus OMD EM5 was the camera that everyone wanted when it was introduced. Olympus did it right. They gave it retro ergonomics, a simple-to-use-design, and it was weather sealed. thephoblographer.com »

The Olympus tough camera lineup has always been pretty darned good for what they are, and the new Olympus TG-6 is promising to be even better--if not take it over the top. The company's latest offering is pretty much as modular as a DSLR or Mirrorless camera without being a DSLR or Mirrorless camera. thephoblographer.com »

When I first got word of the Olympus OMD EM1X, it was through reading rumors on the web. But they turned out to be true--and I've got very mixed feelings about that. This camera has a lot going for it in the form of fantastic ergonomics, weather sealing that I've never seen thus far in a camera, dual cards slots, and the addition of AI in the camera designed to help the photographer. thephoblographer.com »

Introduction Out-of-camera JPEG. ISO 1600 | 1/1000 sec | F4. 5 | Olympus 40-150mm F2. 8 + 1. 4x teleconverter As water pooled on the camera, I held my composition. A motorcyclist rocketed into the frame and I watched as the camera immediately drew a box around the rider's helmet and began focusing as I half-pressed the shutter. dpreview.com »

The Olympus XA2 probably isn't as famous at its predecessor, but it is quite a beautiful and simple camera to use otherwise. I got mine from Brooklyn Film Camera, and in some ways I like to think about it as Olympus' version of the Lomography LCA camera. thephoblographer.com »

Announced in 2004, the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom wasn't the first camera with a focal range starting at 28mm, nor was it the highest resolution camera at the time with its 8 megapixel CCD. What made the C-8080 interesting was the amount of work that Olympus put into the lens, claiming that it was designed to be on par with the Zuiko Digital lenses found on its DSLRs. dpreview.com »

Compact cameras may have had their appeal curbed in recent years, but many models can still easily justify their existence. Take the so-called lifeproof category, for example. With Nikon’s waterproof 1 AW1 mirrorless camera failing to make much of a splash here, the various compact alternatives still make up the majority of practical options for those that want to shoot in atypical conditions with something straight out of the box. digitalrev.com »

Throwback Thursday: Olympus E-10 Back in the early days of consumer digital photography, I was a bit of an Olympus fanboy. My first camera was the D-300L (launched in 1996 for around $900), which had a resolution of just 786k pixels. dpreview.com »

At Photokina it took a lot of wheedling and pleading to get a sneak peak at the new flagship camera from Olympus. The DRTV eventually got ushered into a small, white room, where we sworn to secrecy and shown the OM-D E-M1 Mark II. digitalrev.com »

If there's one thing I learned about the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, it's that it can handle mother nature with the best of them. At an Olympus-sponsored press event in Iceland, the camera got pelted with rain, sleet, snow and hail, all of which occurred over a 20 minute period on more than one occasion. dpreview.com »

On the last day of Photokina 2016 our team headed down to the Olympus stand with one thing in mind – to get our filthy paws on a prototype of the new Olympus flagship model, the OM-D E-M1 II. We had originally heard whispers in the halls of the Koelnmesse, the venue of this year’s convention, that Olympus actually had a physical model of the camera secreted away. digitalrev.com »
