As the new top of the range PEN, the E-P5 has a good balance of features, best build of any PEN models to date and the best performing MFT sensor currently available. However, models such as the Nikon D7100, which adopts a new sensor, and, to a lesser ext...

Excellent finish; Fast AF; Design; Quality of results; Handling
Price compared to rivals; lack of EVF
We love the beautiful premium finish and styling Olympus E-P5, while the overhauled controls make it a much more satisfying experience to shoot with over previous models. Then there's the image quality – while it can't quite compete for out-and-out deta...
The Olympus E-P5 is a compelling mix of old and new, fusing together a gorgeous retro design with the latest 21st-century technology to create the most stylish and advanced PEN yet. It's not perfect though - fitting the expensive VF-4 viewfinder makes th...

Attractive retro design, Efficient and intuitive controls, Good performance, (Almost) infinitely customizable
Autofocus not as smart as we would have expected, Myriad features and customization options may be too confusing for some users, Noise filter aggressively removes detail from JPEG images
All the staffers who had a chance to try out the E-P5 loved it, and we were sad to see it leave our hands. It's nicely designed, has a ton of features, and produces really nice images. The noise filter is a bit aggressive that results in less-than-sharp...
2x2 dial exposure control, 5-axis, 5EV built-in stabilisation, 1.03 million dot tilting LCD panel, Optional 2.36 million dot VF4 EVF, Focus peaking (albeit for still photos only), Touch focus for movies, Intervalometer and time-lapse.
No panorama mode, 99 frame intervalometer limit, Not weather-sealed, Flash easy to accidentally pop-up, Focus peaking doesn't work for movies, Quite pricey at time of launch.
The Olympus PEN E-P5 is a flagship model worthy of the name. It does exactly what manufacturers and retailers expect of a premium product - makes you yearn for it, regardless of whether you need or can afford it. It offers a truly compelling range of ...

The Olympus PEN E-P5 renders extremely good photos for its class, and has a streamlined shooting design. Plus, it's fast
The navigation button/dial is annoyingly awkward, and I wish the flash tilted
An excellent entry in the Micro Four Thirds universe, the Olympus PEN E-P5 should please a lot of folks, but it's also expensive given that it doesn't deliver best-in-class photo quality.

The Olympus PEN E-P5 is an extremely impressive mirrorless camera, but we prefer its sibling, the Olympus OM-D EM-5....
Abstract: The E-P5 justifiably reclaims Olympus flagship status from the OM-D E-M5 After two years we should not be surprised that Olympus has finally replaced the Pen E-P3, which did a solid if unspectacular stint as the flagship model of the Olympus Pen came...
