$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_5364925615","galleryId":"5364925615","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"selectedImageIndex":0,"isMobile":false}) }); Four months after announcing its release in the Asia-Pacific market, Olympus has confirmed its PEN E-PL10 Micro Four Thirds camera is heading to the United States.

As we covered in our initial coverage back in October 2019, the PEN E-PL10 is externally unchanged from its PEN E-PL9 predecessor and shares many of the same features, including the 1040k-dot touchscreen, although it does flip down instead of up, as was the case on the E-PL9.

The internals also remain largely unchanged from the E-PL9. It appears to use the same 16. 1 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, as well as the same TruePic VIII image processor. Also included is 3-axis image stabilization and a contrast-detection autofocus system.

The E-PL10 comes in three colors: white, black and brown

One of the few changes includes a new ‘Fine Tune’ option within the menu that can more precisely adjust how strong the included Art Filter effects are when they’re applied to images in-camera. Wireless connectivity includes built-in 802. 11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4. 0 for pairing with Olympus’ Image Share app.

The PEN E-PL10 is available starting today as a body-only unit for $600 and as a kit with the M. Zuiko Digital ED 14–42mm F3. 5–5. 6 EZ lens for $700. It's available in three colors with Japanese names: shiro (white), kuro (black) and mocha (brown).

For carefree photography, Auto Mode precisely detects the scene, lighting, subject and camera motion and automatically selects the optimal settings.

With Touch AF high-speed autofocus, the camera instantly focuses and captures with a simple touch of the screen.
