Product details

E-P7 Pancake Zoom Kit silver/black (E-P7 silver + EZ-M1442EZ black - includes battery & strap) The PEN series camera impresses with its stylish design and the highest image quality. The core of the E-P7's excellent performance is a combination of sensor technology, image processing, and class-leading 5-axis image stabilization paired with high-quality optical performance. This ensures smooth operation, fast focusing speeds, and clever creative features that have not been available in this camera class before. This model features a new 20-megapixel image sensor (for PEN) and the same powerful TruePic VIII image processing engine found in high-end models. This is the first PEN to also include in-body 5-axis image stabilization with compensation of up to 4.5 EV stops.

Rank 19 out of 20DigitalPhotoSystemkamera im TestReleaseMarch 2025

Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros. In the days of DSLRs, the choice in this price range was much greater...

The Olympus Pen E-P7 is a classically designed pen with modern features. With its 20 megapixel sensor and image stabilisation, it has important features and can also compete with some OM-D cameras.

With simple operation despite many setting options and good photo quality, the Olympus Pen E-P7 just manages to get a good grade. However, action fans would be better off with a different camera - the autofocus is responsive and accurate, but the focus tracking is not convincing.

This test report belongs to a different type: Pen E-P7 Kit (20.30 Mpx, Micro Four Thirds)

Good small system camera without viewfinder. Especially good in the eye test. Good monitor to fold (by 260 degrees), fast camera, light and relatively flat for a system camera without lens, many extras and functions.

In terms of image quality, the E-P7 is not surprising. It reaches the typical level of a 20 MP Olympus camera, but can overtake the technology donor E-M10IV in the end thanks to optimisation of the signal processing. The camera delivers good quality up to ISO 800, but loses ground from ISO 1600...
