Product details

The IT part:
Looking for inspiration? Make the new Olympus PEN E-PL8 your personal muse. In stylish brown or other classic colors, this digital camera will be the It part of the year!
The modern design combines functionality with classic curves and plays with the contrast between surfaces in leather tones and high-quality metal, so that the E-PL8 shines like you. Straps from our fashion accessories collection matching the body colour make this professional camera an accessory that you love and will envy others.

Self-realization:
Everybody loves Selfies! But everyone who wanted to do a good one knows: Selfies are an art form of their own and difficult to make. With the new Olympus PEN E-PL8, your self-portrait looks great from the moment it is released. Fold out the touch screen and the mirrorless camera automatically switches to selfie mode. Hello beauty and goodbye to all weird distortions!
Taking pictures of your entire outfit is also easier than ever. Connected to a smartphone, it becomes the compact, attractive system camera our PEN lovers have dreamed of.

Passion in life:
Soft light that illuminates lovingly arranged things; a coffee-to-go that turns into a work of art; very special food creations that you want to share with the PEN generation and the rest of the world. With the Olympus PEN E-PL8 you can live the passion to capture and share magical moments in life. Various PEN posts show you how. Let your creativity be inspired by the Art Filters and give your pictures an unmistakable look. In the Live View you can see the effects of the filters immediately so that you can choose exactly the right one even better than before.
