There is a review by Ming Thein which I find quite instructive.
Premiere and review: The Olympus PEN F ? Ming Thein | Photographer
To sum up :
He liked the ergonomic (save the for placement of the lug and the button in the front) : it offers a very nice shooting experience as the camera just disappears, allowing you to concentrate on pictures.
Concerning IQ improvements from the new sensor : he can't judge because he was limited to Olympus Viewer 3, so he has no point of comparison with his usual workflow, yet the increase in details seems marginal, but that may be due to the raw converter. The DR seems slightly better and ISO are usable up to 1600. But shadow noise seems a tad worse than on the E-M5II. But this needs to be confirmed when he will be able to convert the raws with his usual workflow.
