It\u2019s small, produces shockingly sharp images and is unassuming \u2014 basically, it\u2019s tailor-made for street photography. Flash forward a couple decades later and Olympus is still crushing it when it comes to packing a potent punch in a compact point-and-shoot, albeit with a few modern day updates.<\/p>\n<p>With the 14-42mm f\/3.5-5.6 and my trusty sidekick in tow, I strolled the neighborhood on a glorious Seattle spring day to test out the latest offering from Olympus, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/g\/Olympus_E-PL9\">PEN E-PL9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45763 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/PEN-E-PL9-3-Color-Group-244.jpg\" alt=\"Olympus PEN E-PL9\" width=\"1068\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/PEN-E-PL9-3-Color-Group-244.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/PEN-E-PL9-3-Color-Group-244-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/PEN-E-PL9-3-Color-Group-244-1024x440.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One can\u2019t help but notice the undeniably vintage and stylish feel of the body. The E-PL9 comes in three colors: Onyx Black, Honey Brown and Pearl White. Right off the bat, the body feels surprisingly solid in the hands, with a shutter mechanism that brings to mind the tangible feel of a camera you might find in a completely different price bracket. With super fast focusing and a crisp 3\u201d inch malleable LCD screen, the E-PL9 gives you instant results. And while we\u2019re on the topic of instant gratification, the built in bluetooth and Wi-Fi makes it a cinch to seamlessly share the way you see things with the world, meaning if you\u2019re an avid Instagrammer but want a little more control, this is the camera for you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45758\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Olympus E-PL9\" width=\"1068\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/8.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/8-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/8-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Chona Kasinger<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45755\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Olympus E-PL9\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Chona Kasinger<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re trying to take a selfie or a top-down shot, the screen bends and follows the action so you can compose your shot just the way you want it. This makes it great for video, which the camera handles magnificently with its 4k video capture. The body is super light, at just .8 lbs, which makes it perfect for hanging around your neck or living discreetly in your pocket until you\u2019re ready to bring it into play.<\/p>\n<p>The camera boasts 16 megapixels and features in-body 3-axis image stabilization, so even with the macchiato jitters, you\u2019ll get a tack sharp shot every time.

For the uninitiated but aspiring photographer, the Olympus Pen might quite simply be one of the best beginner cameras out there.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of fun in-camera effects accessible in the ART setting for that classic film look, though personally, I prefer to play around with that aspect of things after shooting.
