Robin Wong is the manifestation of positive energy itself, i love your videos 👍

Robin i just love your enthusiasm about cameras and photography. You are like a good friend that i can spend time with and learn so much from. Thanks.

This makes me very happy to be a proud owner of an E-PL7.

I love your energy Robin! Great video. You encouraged me to click that buy button :D Thanks a lot!

As a Fuji shooter normally, this video plus your older blog review, convinced me to pickup a used E-Pl7 (just ordered!). Reminds me of my first camera 30+ years ago, the Olympus Trip 35. Thank you for all the content you make and the knowledge you share

Robin. I love your reviews and tips. You are always positive and you put this hobby into more people by seeking affordable options that allow people get out there. I bought my son an Olympus mirrorless in 2017 and it is a great camera. I do have the GRIII, but if I am honest, I use my Pentax MX-1 more even though it is older and has a smaller sensor. It is just my best street shooter when not shooting film. Thank you for another great review that helps more people have more fun.

I was once a user of Ricoh GR, the camera was great but the durability is as good as a thin piece of paper. I still own and use an EP-L 3 from 2011, still works amazing. It is my walk around camera and i usually pair it with lumix 20mm 1.7. Small and compact combo for casual photo walk.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND PASSION THAT CLEARLY SHOWS WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY AND CAMERAS!!! I ACTUALLY JUST SOLD MY GR3 BECAUSE THE BATTERY LIFE IS SOOO TERRIBLE... AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT. THIS VIDEO GOT ME THINKING I FOUND MY REPLACEMENT!! IM NOT TOO CRAZY ABOUT THE SILVER COLOR. WISH THEY HAD IT IN BLACK...BUT I DO LOVE WHAT I'M SEEING!!! GREAT CHANNEL! AWESOME DUDE!! GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS!!! KEEP KILLING IT MAN!💯🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These photo on this particular video are really superior...great job Robin

Just the video I need as I'm considering an E-PL7. You make some solid points, thanks.

Robin. Great images! I recently sold my Olympus cameras and most of the lenses. I switched over to Fujifilm. I did keep my E-PL9 for nostalgic reasons. Watching your review made me rethink my decision.

Great video Robin, fortunately I have the Ricoh GR3 the EM1 MK 3 and the Pen F so all bases covered a few things in favour of the GR3 is the pocketable size, snap focus and wonderful image quality for me the GR3 is a keeper, the swivel screen would be good but then it would be bigger so swings and roundabouts. all the best, John

Good video, and love those shots!

I love my E-PL9. It's a phenomenal camera I've been using for close to 5 years now. It's the camera on which I learned everything I know about photography and it's still the camera I use for travel and street photography. I'll probably only look to replace it in a couple years when the OM-5 mark II is released.

I bought an e-PL7 as a “throw away, don’t care if I lose it” go anywhere camera as an adjunct to my e-M1 iii. I chose it over any of the Panasonics for the familiar interface and also thinking an EVF might be good in bright sun, and the e-PL8 not being much different and feeling cheaper for more than double the price used. My expectations were low but wow I was blown away at just how good this camera is. My only real quibble with the camera was adjusting to a single control dial when I was so used to 2. One thing you forgot to mention with the flip out screen is the “selfie” mode where it folds 180 degrees facing the front of the camera. I find this useful for over the shoulder shots.

Your pictures are fantastic!

👏👏👏Good, very good reasoning. The truth is that I cannot be completely objective because I have an EPL7 (black color) and, despite also having its older sisters M5MarkII and OM5, it is a very compact camera that I love (especially when combined with the Lumix 14mm, M .Zuiko17mm, Lumix 20mm and Lumix 12-32mm). In addition to everything you have commented, from my point of view, quite rightly, I consider that the EPL7 is the most beautiful "PEN" model (better aesthetically than the later ones, only surpassed by the precious PEN F). Thanks for posting this great video. An affectionate greeting 🤗(from Spain)

Awesome video! As a longtime E-PL8 user I've often made the same comparison to the Ricoh GR series, and stuck with the Pen for all the reasons you mentioned. I only wish Olympus/OMDS had taken the street photography genre more seriously, and realized they had a perfect camera for it. Instead they marketed the Pens as accessories for design-conscious Japanese girls, and after the E-PL8 they removed the external EVF, the MySets, and half the customization buttons. The E-PL7 and 8 remain as spectacular full-featured small cameras with an unbeatable small high-quality lens selection.

The colours in your photo's are so vibrant.
