Olympus was at the origin of the origin of the mirrorless camera class. That's just her partner in the Micro 4/3 system has stepped far ahead (we are talking about the Panasonic brand), and the company from the "top of Olympus" decided not so long ago to abandon the production of cameras. Nevertheless, her models are alive and well. In the internal nomenclature of the brand, Olympus cameras are divided into two large camps: PEN-E and OM-D.

The PEN-E family combines low-cost cameras with a cropped image sensor. The youngest delegates from him are E—PM pocket mirrorless cameras without a viewfinder and wheels for selecting manual photo shooting modes. The cameras in an elegant retro wrapper from the E-PL league are addressed to amateurs, and the models of the E-P guard are addressed to avid photo enthusiasts.

Olympus "Beauties" in an elegant retro style will not leave anyone indifferent.

Olympus flagships from the OM-D cavalry were more technically charged. It "serves" several generations of models of advanced amateur level E-M10, the trinity of semi-professional E-M5 and a trio of top mirrorless E-M1. More details about the breakdown of the manufacturer's cameras by class are described in a separate material "Decoding the series and labeling of Olympus cameras".
