I have to admit, I’m still getting to know my new Olympus PEN F – but seriously, it was love from first shot! Those who know and love the EPL range, the PEN F is definitely an upgrade with its built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), faster shutter speed, extra features and more external controls!
So in a nutshell, the Olympus Pen F is definitely targeting professionals and advanced amateurs. Whether you should go for one or the other comes down to three main factors: your preferred photographic genres, the EVF and the price.
Since the Olympus Pen F has more resolution and a High Res Shot mode, it is better suited to landscape, cityscape and still life photography than the Olympus E-PL9. It also has more advanced movie functions and the built-in EVF of the Pen F could be a deal breaker if you prefer shooting with a viewfinder. Saying that, if you are on a tight budget there is no question that the E-PL9 is the better deal. Its current street price is less than half of the Pen F but maybe my 20% off discount code could help…?
Here’s a couple of pictures that I’ve taken on my new Olympus PEN F during my recent holiday to Mexico… You can see more images over @rhiannonduffin – then head to my TRAVEL stories!
