The Olympus PEN E-P5 is an excellent camera, and in the aggregate it's probably just as capable as the company's reigning flagship—particularly once you factor in the optional VF-4 finder. But why should you pick it over the identically priced OM-D?Both c...

Super-fast autofocus, Responsive touchscreen, 2x2 dial control works well, Premium design is a step above previous Pen models, Great image quality matches up to OM-D E-M5, 1/8000th sec maximum mechanical shutter speed
Image stabilisation system emits a hum, Continuous autofocus not up to a DSLR standard, Pricey, Flash release often pressed by accident, Wi-Fi QR code app flawed, 2x2 dial not customisable, Focus peaking ought to offer more colours, Would like AF/MF switc

Beautiful design, Twin control dials instead of one, Easy to switch AF points, Leadingclass 5axis IS, Impeccable image quality
Strap lugs get in way of fingers, UI not intuitive in some places, Menu doesn't respond to touch, White balance leans towards yellow
