Olympus PEN and OM-D Mirrorless System Cameras

Borrowing a camera body style that is 40 years old, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 re-creates the look of a classic film camera but packs in tons of modern technology. Two notable features are the high resolution electronic viewfinder and the flexible 3 inch OLED LCD screen.

Providing a little something for everyone, the E-PL3 has a flexible 3 inch LCD screen which allows for high and low-angle compositions. Like the E-P3, this camera is compatible with the Olympus VF-3 Electronic Viewfinder (as an optional accessory).

If you've become used to using a touch screen, then you'll feel quite at home with the 3 inch OLED LCD on the E-P3. You can also customize the look of any image by applying one of 10 different art filters like Diorama, Pop Art, Soft Focus and Gentle Sepia.

Also known as the "PEN Mini" the Olympus E-PM1 is the smallest, lightest and simplest of the 2011 PEN cameras. There is no optional viewfinder for this camera and there is no built-in flash.

This third camera in the Olympus mirrorless lineup features the addition of a built-in flash AND the ability to control other remote Olympus flashes wirelessly. Plenty of art filters let you customize the look of your photos without needing a computer.

Mere months after the E-P1 arrived the E-P2 was announced. This model improves on its predecessor with the addition of an accessory port - where you can attach an optional viewfinder or an external microphone for recording video.

The first mirrorless Olympus camera created quite a stir when it was first released due more to the way that it looked than any particular feature. A special feature is the built-in image stabilization that helps you get clear shots with any lens you attach.
