OM System PEN Update: Ordered!
October 2026, Carl Garrard
On the last article I did on the blog about the new Pen, I hinted at the fact that I would likely buy one myself, and I have. As I stated in that article too, I haven't been impressed with camera makers rollout items of late. Most mirrorless cameras are way too expensive, and have boring boxy designs that lack finesse and subtleties that are designed around the human hand. The new Pen looks like a well designed camera to me. It's not only the culmination of a wishlist that many photographers have wanted for the Pen series for years, it seems to be very carefully designed for the human hand as well. It's the first camera announcement I've seen in years that has inspired me to buy it as soon as it was available for the market, and that is really saying something.
