Combining a 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor with 5-stop in-body stabilization and a 120fps burst rate, it captures sharp action in a weather-sealed, 454-gram body. Its 3-inch tilting touchscreen and 1.4M-dot EVF aid composing from tricky angles, and the build withstands dust and moisture. This camera suits travelers and vloggers prioritizing a compact, stabilized system for 1080p60 video and all-day carry.
