Olympus PEN V205081WU000 White 2016
The 16MP Live MOS sensor and 3-axis in-body stabilization deliver sharper handheld shots, while the 180-degree downward flip touchscreen enables a dedicated selfie mode for both stills and video. Its retro-styled, 499g body combines portability with a tactile build quality that stands out in the entry-level mirrorless segment. This camera is best for vloggers and beginners who prioritize easy self-recording and sharing over 4K video or weather-sealed durability.
