Hi, I have the T3i mark 11 Olympus mirrorless camera and the two lenses that came with it plus the 25 f/1:8; was thinking of getting the PEN-F mirrorless would this be a good upgrade or should I just stick with my original any advice would be appreciated

As a rule, you should consider upgrading your camera gear only when you sense its inadequacy to your purpose.
Put another way, your purpose in doing photography will determine which camera gear (including the lens or lenses) you need to fulfill this purpose.
At that point, consider renting to try new gear before buying it.
Reading camera gear reviews online can inform you to help make the right purchase decision.
Finally, note that camera skills and experience more than camera gear produce worthy photographs.

The Pen-F is a much nicer camera than the EM10 mkII but functionally isn't better.
thank you, looking at the specs there is not a lot of difference just slightly, think I will stay with the em10 mark 11 for now

I believe the main gain is that you would go from 16mp to 20mp. Size wise there is a gain and what the camera can do would be a gain. But I am not so sure the gain is worth the extra cost. Going from the E-M10 to the E-M1 mrII might be worth the extra cost depending what and how you are planning to shoot in the future, but it is a big monetary jump. Getting a nicer tool is advised when it become necessary for the type of shooting you are doing (or you win the lottery).

The only advantage the Olympus Pen has is it is a smaller and lighter camera. The EM 10 is a much better camera for shooting.
