Olympus PEN E-PL7 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera

4Share

Sporting a refined, retro appearance and housing a wealth of imaging assets, the PEN E-PL7 is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera featuring a 16.1MP Live MOS sensor and TruePic VII image processor to realize rich image quality with sensitivity up to ISO 25600. The processing capabilities also avail a continuous shooting rate of 8 fps and support full HD 1080p movie recording at 30 fps. Complementing the speedy performance is an equally apt FAST autofocus system that utilizes an 81-point array for enhanced subject tracking abilities across the entire image frame. Additionally, in-camera three-axis VCM (Voice Coil Motor) image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake with any lens in use.

Rounding out the imaging features of the E-PL7 is a range of handling assets, including a large 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD, which features a 180° downward tilting design for front-facing monitoring and easy selfie compositions. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity also enables remote monitoring from iOS or Android devices, as well as supporting wireless camera control. In addition to being offered as a body only, the E-PL7 is available in a kit with the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R lens, which provides a versatile 28-84mm equivalent focal-length range.

Below is a link to all of the Micro 4/3rds series lenses from all of the manufacturers offering lenses in this mount. On the left hand side of the page there are search filters you may select to narrow the selection down based upon your criteria.  As far as future lenses being produced go, we do not manufacturer the lenses ourselves, and unfortunately the manufacturers do not inform us of their future products or intentions prior to any official announcement.  We learn of new models on the same day as you would in fact.
