Like its E-PL5 predecessor, the E-PL7 at first seems like a small series of steady improvements rolled into the one camera, with a more sophisticated autofocus system, better overall handling and Wi-Fi. But that makes it a solid bit of kit, especial...

The PEN E-PL7, the smallest hybrid in Olympus' 2014 range, has definitely taken a few ideas from the OM-D E-M10.

Add to that Wi-Fi connectivity, a 180° tiltable touchscreen, and you've got the E-PL7. Let's see if this little interchangeable-lens camera lives up to our expectations of style, elegance and excellent selfie-taking, all three promised by Olymp...

This latest offering from Olympus features the 16.1-million-pixel sensor that has proved popular in the OM-D E-M5, but as well as the sensor, the E-PL7 shares many of the features of the OM-D E-M10, minus a viewfinder and built-in flash. Based on those fe...

The Olympus ‘Pen' series E-PL7 – the ‘L' denoting a ‘Lite' or entry-level version – arrives hot on the heels of the E-PL6. It doesn't deviate massively from its sibling, which it joins rather than replaces. This is still a stylishly constructed 16 megapix...
