The original Olympus PEN-F (http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Olympus_Pen_F) first hit the streets in 1963. Built around the half-frame film format, it quickly gained a following thanks to its beautiful, yet simple design and small size. Getting 70 images to a roll of film probably didn't hurt, either. Now, 53 years later the PEN-F is back.
The digital reincarnation of the 35mm film Olympus PEN-F does not replace the current digital PEN flagship E-P5 (http://www.dpreview.com/products/olympus/slrs/oly_ep5), rather it slides in next to it as the 'premium' option in the PEN family. The reason being that unlike digital PENs before it, the F has something much more OM-D-like: a built-in 2.36 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder. The F also boasts the highest output resolution of any Olympus body to date, boasting a 20MP Four Thirds sensor (probably the same one we've seen in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 (http://www.dpreview.com/products/panasonic/slrs/panasonic_dmcgx8)).
Released specifically to appeal to street shooters and the design conscious looking for a capable camera with retro-styling and rangefinder-like controls, the PEN-F has a lot going for it.
Olympus PEN-F features:

20MP Live MOS Four Thirds format sensor
5-axis image stabilization with automatic panning detection
2.36 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder
Up to 10 fps continuous shooting (20 fps with electronic shutter)
Highly customizable interface, twin controls
Fully articulating 1.04 million dot, 3" LCD touchscreen
50MP High-res Shot mode
1/8000 sec top mechanical shutter speed (1/16,000 with e-shutter)
1080/60p video recording
All of the above come packaged in a machined aluminum and magnesium body, with no visible screws anywhere. A faux-leather wrap encircles the PEN-F and the body itself is both well-weighted and has a very solid feel to it.

With many of the same guts as the OM-D EM-5 II (http://www.dpreview.com/products/olympus/slrs/oly_em5ii) and sleek rangefinder-style looks (reminiscent of Fujifilm

The mighty PEN: Hands-on with Olympus PEN-F

Olympus's PEN series of digital interchangeable lens cameras has a long heritage, stretching right back to the mid-20th Century, long before digital imaging transformed photography. The company's latest PEN shows off its early influences in a classically-styled body and enthusiast-friendly handling experience, but in terms of its specifications the PEN-F is very much of its time.

The PEN-F is available in two finishes, black (shown here, obviously) and silver. We really like the sleek-looking black finish but it's all a matter of taste. We also quite like how the black version pairs with the silver finish of our 17mm F2.8. And how a camera looks is the most important thing, right?

Well, looking at this camera you could certainly be forgiven for thinking that. The PEN-F is perhaps the most shamelessly 'retro' camera we've seen since the Nikon Df.
There's really no need for a physical control point to select color modes, for instance (were the engineers just looking for something to make that dial do?), but we'll freely admit that the front-mounted dial does look pretty cool. Likewise the generous amount of leatherette that covers the front (and back) of the PEN-F. So much classier than bare metal, or heaven forbid - plastic...

The large on/off switch on the top left of the camera body is another control point that we suspect was included more for nostalgic reasons than anything else. Recalling the on / off switch on many OM-series film SLRs it moves positively, and with an expensive-feeling stiffness.

New in Olympus's digital PEN lineup is a built-in electronic viewfinder. This finder immediately sets it apart from earlier models like the E-P5 and puts the handling experience of the PEN-F closer to cameras like Sony's venerable a6000. With 2.36 million dots, this OLED finder gives a very clear and crisp view of the world beyond the lens.
Also thoroughly modern is an 800-point contrast detection AF system, with face and eye-detection. This might not be capable of quite the same accuracy when tracking moving subjects as the hybrid system in the OM-D E-M1, but we've been impressed by Olympus's contrast detect AF in other recent ILCs. Initial experience of using the PEN-F suggests that it performs well.

At the heart of the PEN-F is a 20MP Four Thirds format Live MOS sensor. The Micro Four Thirds system entails a 2X crop factor for attached lenses, meaning that our 17mm F1.8 actually behaves approximately like a 34mm F3.6 lens would on a full-frame camera.
Like its bigger brother the DSLR-style OM-D E-M5, the PEN-F features 5-axis image stabilization, which Olympus claims should offer a stabilization benefit of ~5 stops. In our experience, this type of stabilization is also extremely useful when shooting handheld video.

The PEN-F's video specification is pretty standard for an ILC in 2016, offering Full HD capture at up to 60fps, with a maximum bitrate of 52Mbps. Sound is dealt with by a built-in stereo microphone, visible here just ahead of the hotshoe, on the top of the camera.

By default, video is initiated via the red movie record button on the top right of the PEN-F and both this and most other major controls are pretty familiar, being used in other recent OM-D and PEN-series Olympus cameras. The shutter button sits in the middle of the main control dial (and a thread for a screw-in cable release is a nice touch) and there's a secondary dial just behind it, jutting out from the rear of the camera.
