OM System PEN: The retro-styled camera that outperforms the PEN-F in every way

The OM System PEN is hailed as the finest PEN yet and a spiritual successor to the PEN-F, delivering IPX1 weather sealing, in‑body stabilization, a built‑in EVF, 30fps Pro Capture, Live ND and 80MP High‑Res Shot in a compact retro body for $999 / £849. It refines the PEN‑F in image quality, autofocus and handling, adds a dedicated memory‑card door and a modernized power switch, and prioritizes stills over video (8‑bit 4K/30p and 1080p/120p). While not a video camera, its performance makes it hard to beat for photographers, offering better value than the Panasonic Lumix L10 and serving as the best everyday carry for enthusiasts; availability is late Sep/early Oct, with a kit‑lens bundle for $1,099 / £999.

Lumix L10: A stylish compact with a versatile zoom for street photography

Panasonic's Lumix L10 updates the LX100 concept into a stylish, compact Micro Four Thirds camera with a 26MP sensor, a revised 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 lens, EVF, and a fully articulated screen, plus a Titanium Gold edition and flexible color profiles. It delivers strong image quality and a customizable control layout with excellent battery life, but it lacks IBIS, a dedicated rear joystick, and robust video tools, and its autofocus in low light and startup speed can feel sluggish, keeping it best suited for travel and street photography rather than demanding shooters. Price around $1,499.
