I fell in love! I really love that design. And since I’m looking for a backup for my E-M1 this might just be it!
Really hoping they have another grip option more akin to the E-P5. The bottom mounted grip ads too much bulk (not to mention it’s ugly as sin). But carting this around with even moderatley sized lens and no grip at all just seems like it’s asking to be dropped.

well if this is the case, why did you take ownership of it on the image and state “modified by mirrorlessrumors.com”
Sorry you are right. I should have written “modified by Craig for Mirrorlessrumors”. Will do that now.
can’t wait to have one in silver!!
And, I hope this new Pen-F will have same battery size as E-M1.
1500-1700 Euros. Yeah, right.
Can’t wait.
Wow, that’s an insane price as well. A few days ago it was Fuji, and now Olympus.
If second-hand price of a decent sample settles at about half of that, which is about EM-1’s current second-hand price, and it’s not much bigger than Panasonic’s GM-1, then IMO it’s worth considering as a backup unit. I always believe that m4/3 needs the smallest bodies to be worth the loss in sensor size.
I agree with you, mate. I think the current PL line for Oly is a perfect size, and it fairly compensates the relatively small sensor size and the relative slowness of the lenses by the sheer size of the components.
I think forcing a “premium” compact m43 MILC category is just not working. Currently the tech is simply not there to compete with the big guns, while the price is already there or above.
C’mon, 1500-1700 is the price of a decent professional FF monster.
And I’m not saying that it should be cheaper because of the smaller sensor, but it definitely should be reasonably positioned. They should even consider cutting down the feature set to achieve that.
and i on the contrary think they should add up more features and cut the price even more aggressively. or im not buying. i think all camera makers must believe that everyone is making tons of money even with the lowest end cameras these days.. but apparently theres big enough supply of rich peeps who buy whatever number of cameras need to be sold to please the company.. sigh..
edit: i mean whats the point of flooding the world with crappy or feature reduced products? its beyond logic.. the poor human being who is unlucky enough to get a crappy product will never discover his true talent, because the product itself will prevent it..
i find it reallly beautiful and will preorder this baby when i can …..ive been waiting for an meaningful update to my fuji xe2 , but fuji has let me down this cycle the x pros are too big and a bit pricey to early adopters ….the gx 8 from panny had the better evf (than gx7)it has the correct formfactor … but is bloated past what i can tolerate … happily ….like a bedtime story…. the digital pen F is jusssssst right!!
greetings from cosinaphile in nyc
Interesting. Olympus really gets retro better than Fuji.
