Olympus pen e pl8 vs olympus pen f?

Both are Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras announced in 2016, with the same sensor size, in-body stabilisation and lens mount, so they take the same lenses. The main differences are resolution and design. The Olympus PEN E-PL8 has 16.1 megapixels. The Olympus PEN-F has 20.3 megapixels, a built-in viewfinder, a rangefinder-style body, and a front dial for colour and monochrome profiles.

I'd pick the E-PL8 for a straightforward everyday camera. The PEN-F is for people who want a classic rangefinder feel and the dial for quick colour and black-and-white looks.

For a first lens on either body, the Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 gives a natural view equal to 50mm on full frame. If you want one zoom for most everyday framing, try the Panasonic Leica DG 12-35mm f/2.8.
