    Olympus PEN-F (Body-Only) (Black)

    • Both nice cameras with great features but was seduced by the Pen F's homage to the rangefinders of the 50's
    • it has all the best features.
    • The image quality is excellent and I love all the available features in such a small package
    • HDR is an amazing feature: When the range of tones exceeds the camera's ability to capture you shoot in HDR mode which takes many shots at once of the same scene with varying exposure levels so one captures the detail in highlights and others detail in shadows and the camera stitches the composite together as one picture
    • The viewfinder to me is a useless feature because the majority of photos I take are in daylight while wearing sunglasses and I have to use the LCD screen
    • Ansel Adams would have loved this feature alone
    • Other neat features are level bubbles in both axis' in the viewfinder if you choose and a key stoning feature where the camera will correct diverging vertices or horizontals which is useful for architectural shots
    • A lot has been made of the plethora of dials/knobs on this camera, but I am a big proponent of being able to control a camera without having to go into the menu system for every feature- especially the critical exposure features.
    • On paper this seemed like a great feature but in reality it is an absolute disappointment
    • Overall, I think this camera out retro styling ahead of important features, like weather sealing, and then they jacked up the price.
