OM System PEN is now available for preorder on Amazon US. The compact, IPX1 weather-sealed interchangeable-lens camera comes in a two-lens kit (M.Zuiko 14-42mm and 40-150mm), supports 4K video, features AI-powered Human and Pet Detection AF, up to 5.5 stops of stabilization, and offers in-camera creative profiles via the OI.Share app.
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.

Texas landscape photographer Maegan Lanham spent about six and a half years visiting and photographing every Texas state park, chasing sunrises, revisiting favorite spots for changing light, and prioritizing lightweight gear for backcountry hikes and kayak shoots. Using OM SYSTEM gear (OM-1 Mark II with 12‑40mm and 7‑14mm lenses) and in‑camera tools like Live ND, Live Composite, Starry Sky AF, and focus stacking, she captures both landscape and occasional wildlife while emphasizing the experience and the conservation of public lands.
