Bethlehem, Pa. – September 12, 2026 -- OM Digital Solutions Corporation will begin shipping the OM SYSTEM PEN in late October 2026, the first camera to carry the PEN name under the OM SYSTEM brand, priced at $999.99 USD.
The camera adds weather sealing and a viewfinder never before seen in the PEN lineup.
The PEN is an interchangeable lens camera built to the Micro Four Thirds System standard, following the rangefinder-style design lineage that began with the original PEN film camera in 1959. It is the first PEN model to include an electronic viewfinder and the first with IPX1-rated splash proof and dustproof construction, using sealing materials at key points on the camera body.
A 20.37-million-pixel sensor and 5-axis stabilization anchor the imaging system.
The camera pairs a TruePic IX image processing engine with a 20.37 million effective pixel Live MOS sensor and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses. Its 5-axis image stabilization, compatible with all Micro Four Thirds lenses, delivers up to 5.5 stops of correction at the center of the frame and up to 4.5 stops at the edges.
A dedicated switch lets photographers toggle between film-style color and monochrome looks mid-shoot.
A Profile Control Switch on the camera's front gives one-press access to Color and Monochrome Profile Control settings. Color presets include Film Rich Color, Film Vivid, Film Soft Tone, and Standard; monochrome presets include Film B&W, Film IR, Film Low Contrast, and Standard Monotone. Users can adjust saturation across 12 separate colors in 11 levels, or combine five effects — including film grain and tone adjustments — for black-and-white images. Profile control also applies during video recording, except in slow/quick motion mode.
A dedicated CP button unlocks in-camera compositing normally done on a computer.
Pressing and holding the CP button while turning the Control Dial switches between Tripod High Res Shot, Handheld High Res Shot, Live ND (ND2-16), Focus Stacking, HDR, and Multiple Exposure modes. The PEN also introduces the series' first AI Subject Detection AF for people, cats, and dogs, alongside a 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF system and Starry Sky AF.
Buyers can choose from three purchasing options at launch.
The camera body alone, in Silver or Black, costs $999.99 USD / $1,399.99 CAD. A kit bundled with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III lens runs $1,099.99 USD / $1,549.99 CAD, while a double-lens kit adding the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R lens is priced at $1,299.99 USD / $1,799.99 CAD.
