Slideshows have never been easier or more fun to create. The E-PL5's enhanced playback functions allow you to employ effective fade-in/fade-out techniques, control the movie/still mix and speed, and add captivating musical soundtracks.

- Broken Shutter
- Faulty Battery

Olympus PEN LITE E-PL5 Review
There's one thing that Olympus has mostly got right: stylish camera designs, with clearly labelled functions and layout. However it seems like decades have been spent as the company has fumbled around with its viewfinder menu layout … and the PL5 is no exception.

Olympus PEN E-PL5 Review
For users upgrading from a simple point-and-shoot to an interchangeable lens camera, the Olympus PEN Lite E-PL5 is a very good model to transition to. Out of the box, the E-PL5 takes great photos. It does take time, however, to learn some of the features of the camera, for which there are plenty.
Pros:
- Fast autofocusing system
- Takes very good photos
- Tilting screen for angled shots or self-portraits
- Special effects and filters allow you to take fun pictures
Cons:
- Requires playing around to learn features and settings
- Lens is a bit big on what is otherwise a compact camera
- Higher price tag when there's a comparable Olympus camera with similar features

Olympus E-PL5 review
Successor to the E-PL3 we reviewed this time last year, the E-PL5 has skipped a number to become the fourth generation interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds system compact from Olympus (the same technology the Panasonic G5 uses).
Pros:
- Starter option with sophisticated design
- tilting touchscreen LCD screen aids visibility and makes for intuitive use
- dedicated video record button falls readily under the thumb
- image stabilisation built into camera body rather than lens
Cons:
- Small backplate buttons
- but criticism otherwise similar to that of its E-PL3 predecessor
- namely we miss the integral flash and handgrip of the E-PL2
- and bemoan the plastic-y clip-on flash
- plastic-y clip on grip and plastic-y kit lens provided in lieu

Pros:
- Tilting rear display
- Optional EVF available
- Removable front grip
- In-camera art filters
- Sharp kit lens
- Good high ISO performance.
Cons:
- No built-in flash

Olympus E-PL5 review
Offering the power of a DSLR within the dimensions of a near pocket compact, the maker's latest retro-styled compact system camera arrives in the Olympus E-PL5, also known as the 'Pen Lite'. It's the direct successor to last summer's Olympus E-PL3 , as there was no E-PL4.
Pros:
- Sophisticated design
- Tilting touch-screen
- Anti shake built into camera
Cons:
- Small backplate buttons
- Plasticky kit lens
- Lacks convincing grip

The Olympus PEN E-PL5 shares the same 16-megapixel sensor and processing engine as its big brother, the OM-D E-M5. But it houses those electronics in a smaller, lighter, and less expensive package. And that alone should earn consideration for this handsome micro four-thirds camera .

Olympus has infused its mid-range PEN with OM-D DNA to positive results.
Although we had some issues with the camera's ergonomics and menu system, the E-PL5 nevertheless impressed us on its technical merits. There's just enough power here for point-and-shoot users who want to stretch their legs a bit, though more advanced users will likely get frustrated with the rather...
