You have to dive into the menu to change ISO, thus is a huge step backward, even for an entry level camera.

Unlike the E-M10 Mark III that has one of the arrow pad buttons assigned to direct ISO control by default, there is now no way to control the ISO via shortcuts on the E-PL9. There were two customize-able function buttons which did not include the settings that I critically need: ISO and a quick shortcut to default AF center point position. They have over-simplified the customization options. Just like the E-M10 Mark III, Olympus has reworked the menu system which doesn’t necessarily improve the user-friendliness at all. The ergonomics are good as long as you keep the lenses you use on the camera as small as possible. I was not particularly happy being limited to a single control knob, but that is usually the case with most entry level options out there. I welcome the addition of the slight bump on the right side of the camera body as it allows for more secure handling. The body is made of solid metal and feels robust and reassuring. The E-PL9 is an extremely well built camera. If Olympus is truly making the E-PL9 an entry level model by stripping away the EVF attachment, why include the wireless TTL flash and at the same time not include the wireless TTL on the higher end OM-D E-M10 Mark III? This did not make any sense to me at all. While I can understand the exclusion of an EVF, I cannot quite comprehend why the E-PL9 has Wireless Remote Control TTL Flash. If an EVF is important to you then there are other cameras from Olympus and other manufacturers. However, most photographers place significant value on an EVF. The removal of the EVF attachment was an unexpected move but, in hindsight, necessary to further differentiate the PEN from the OM-D series.

In terms of wireless connectivity to smart devices, the E-PL9 is the first Olympus camera to have low power consumption Bluetooth in addition to Wi-Fi. The LCD touch screen can be tilted downward 180 degrees for selfie taking purposes (something you will never see me do here). The E-PL9 has 3-Axis in-camera image stabilization which, according to Olympus, offers up to 3.5 stops of stabilization. Unlike the predecessors E-PL7/E-PL8, the E-PL9 now has a built in pop-up flash, which negates the inconvenience of carrying an external clip-on flash. The E-PL9 does not have a built in electronic viewfinder (EVF) and unfortunately Olympus has decided to remove the accessory port that allows attachment of an external EVF. They both have the same 16MP image sensor, Truepic 8 image processor, UHD 4K video, identical AF-points navigation, layout and performance. Based on the specifications, the E-PL9 is very similar to the OM-D E-M10 Mark III in terms of imaging capabilities.

The E-PL9 carries on the tradition of PEN-Lite series of being small and light. For larger samples of all images shown here with full EXIF data, please visit the online gallery here.

All images were shot in RAW and post-processed in Olympus Viewer 3, since there was no compatibility working with any other software alternatives at the time. I am not a video-centric reviewer, so I will skip the video capabilities of this camera. This review is based on my user experience and may be subjective. Neither Ming Thein nor I are associated with Olympus in any way and the E-PL9 was on loan solely for review purposes and has since been returned. Some quick disclaimers, as usual, before we dive into the review. In this E-PL9 review, I explore the capabilities of the small PEN camera that allows it to stand out from the crowd, as well as the compromises that were made to keep the compact form factor. However, there is no shortage of entry level system cameras now, both from the mirrorless and DSLR camps. Looking at the compact form factor, stylish design and inclusion of a selfie screen, the E-PL9 is clearly targeted towards the entry level market – particularly smartphone users who need better image output and performance but are not keen on carrying larger and heavier DSLR cameras. I had the opportunity to shoot a review unit for about a week before the launch. Olympus has just launched a new addition to their PEN line-up, the E-PL9.
