9 Since Japan Industrial Partners acquired Olympus in 2021, creating OM Digital Solutions and rebranding new cameras as OM System, we've seen
upgrades for every Olympus camera series except one: the PEN-F / PEN E-P7
line of digital rangefinders.

The Olympus PEN-F is a camera that's much admired for its stunning retro looks, described by some as the 'best looking camera ever made'. Olympus fans have been calling for a successor to the series for years and they might finally be about to get their wish. A YouTube video from OM System (below) just teased what could be the long-awaited successor to the PEN-F, and it's coming on September 9. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

The teaser focuses on the experience of using the built-in
'rangefinder'-style viewfinder a hallmark of PEN cameras and then reveals the camera's form factor, with some detailing of the top plate.

Based on these low-key visuals, we could be looking at the spiritual
successor to the beloved Olympus PEN-F which inspired the design of the stunning OM-3 or perhaps a re-imagining of the low-cost Olympus PEN EP-7 . You may like A blow for Canon?
