Here are the details of Olympus E-P7 Camera & 8-25mm f/4 PRO lens.
Olympus E-P7 Camera
The Olympus PEN E-P7 is a rangefinder-style Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera with a 20MP sensor and 5-axis in-body image stabilization. It has an downward-tilting 3″ touchscreen with 1.04 million dots, but with a flash instead of an electronic viewfinder. It has a 121-point contrast-detect AF system with face and eye detection. The E-P7 has numerous color modes, which can be easily accessed via a switch on its front plate. It can capture 4K/30p video at a bit rate of 102Mbps. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built-in.

Olympus 8-25mm f/4 PRO lens
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4 Pro is 16-50mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds. The lens has a retractable design and has 16 elements, which include Super ED, ED and EDA glass. A large ‘DSA’ element reduces sagittal comatic aberration, and the ‘ZERO’ coating reduces flare and ghosting. The 8-25mm has a minimum focus distance of 23cm (9″) across the focal range and a magnification of 0.42x. Seventy-two millimeter filters are supported. As with all of Olympus’s Pro lenses, the 8-25mm is weather-sealed (to IPX1 standards) and freeze-proof. The front element has a fluorine coating to repel oil and water.
