The Olympus E-PL5 Mirrorless Digital Camera body is the latest edition to the Olympus PEN E-PL series of mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras. A 16MP Live MOS sensor provides this camera with DSLR-like image quality and the TruePic VI image processor brings with it fast response time and accurate colors and contrasts. Its mirrorless design allows for a compact body and a large line of compatible interchangeable lenses offers the flexibility to capture any type of shot you can imagine.With an ISO range up to 25600 and In-body Image Stabilization, low-light photography is delivered with saturated colors and little noise. Sequential shooting of 8 frames per second and the Olympus F.A.S.T. Auto Focus system equal high speed performance and with the assistance of Face and Eye Detection, portraits and group shots are focused and exposed automatically to produce ideal shots every time.Auto focus and shutter release can be controlled by touching the LCD screen. Set the focus on your subject by touching that spot on the LCD and the camera will hold that focus until you touch the LCD again to release the shutter. The LCD itself is a 3.0" Flip Portrait display that can be titled up or down for creative composition or to control glare and reflection when shooting in bright sunlight.The E-PL5 is capable of shooting Full 1080i HD video and can playback that HD video on an HDTV with a simple connection to its HDMI output. It also has a multi-purpose accessory port for connecting accessories including the FL-LM1 flash unit which included with this camera.Twelve in-camera art filters can add creative flourish to your images. Soft Focus, Grainy Film and Pin Hole, for example, are enhanced by filter variations, art effects and bracketing. This creative palette can be used in all shooting modes including while filming HD movies. iAuto is also a part of the package and it's there for you when you want the camera to recognize what it is seeing and automatically take the best photo possible. Also featured is Olympus' Dust Reduction System which keeps the camera's sensor clean by vibrating a Supersonic Wave Filter every time the camera is turned on.Along with compact form, interchangeable lenses are an important advantage to mirrorless photography and Olympus provides a wide array of lenses to fit the E-PL5, this version is body only, no lens is included.

I decided to try my first olympus micro 4/3rds camera. I own a couple of Panasonic ones but I couldn't resist trying out the same sensor as the one the OMD EM5 has. I am very happy with the image quality. I think the Olympus cameras have better metering and white balance, in addition to the newer sensor, you are getting a great image.

Excellent Image quality

I have owned many cameras--several DSLRS, rangefinder pro cameras, and super zooms.  All of them took good pictures, but had compromises in size, weight, and ability to use quickly and with a variety of effects and shooting options.  This Olympus, with the Zuiko 12-42 and 40-200 zoom lenses does it ALL, and is far more portable than the NIkons that I sold.  They used to sit in a case, as I would end up taking a smaller camera.  Optical quality, ease of use, and overall flexibility and features make this camera UNBEATABLE at the price point.  Only the top of the line Olympus can do more, and it is larger and heavier.  Adorama was wonderful to deal with, and I LOVE the four thirds system--run out and buy it, as Olympus was the originator of this format, and NOBODY does it better.

Don't look any further--best camera ever

Nice solid feeling, great features, and the pictures are really super in low light. My first M43 and been a DSLR user. I can get over the small size and how light weight it is.

Great value for superb camera.

The e-pl5 is a solid camera, has the ability to capture excellent images.  Compared directly with a friends omd, using the same lens and settings, the results were very close, you really have to blow up the image, and you'll notice slightly better jpg processing in the omd.  

For everyday shooting the lack of view finder rarely impedes,  I can imagine where it could be a problem if you're mainly shooting fast action sports.

I primarily pair the e-pl5 with the panny leica 25mm f1.4 lens, and it performs just as good as my t4i /w the canon 50 f1.4, and I prefer it over my canon 28 f1.8   

Iso performance is good,  you can shoot useable photos at iso 3200, without being overly noisy.

dont expect much from the flash, it's there only for emergencies.   

My only wish is if the body added another dial, to make it easier to control aperature and shutter speed, but it useable with only one dial.

If the camera was stolen,  I'd buy another, it's that good.  pair it with the panasonic 14 f2 pancake, and you have an rig that'll fit in your pocket
