The new OM System PEN lands at $999 body-only (or $1099 with the 14-42mm kit lens) and claims the title of cheapest weather-sealed ILC on the market. It runs a 20MP Four Thirds sensor with IBIS, a 2.36m-dot built-in EVF, vari-angle touchscreen, and Pro Capture at full resolution up to 30fps. Video tops out at 4K/30p. Amateur Photographer rates it class-leading at the price, with the main trade-offs being a 20MP ceiling, no built-in flash, and video that trails rivals.
