Product Overview

Olympus PEN E-PL8 is an affordable mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2016, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 16 MP (4608 x 3456) resolution.

The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the PEN E-PL8 has a 200 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The PEN E-PL8's 8.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.

The Olympus PEN E-PL8 comes with 81 autofocus points.
