Olympus PEN E-PL6 MFT Mirrorless Camera (2013)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Olympus PEN E-PL6 is an affordable mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2013, 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. The PEN E-PL6'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-PL6 comes with 35 autofocus points.
