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 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 has seen great success in the mirrorless camera world with its PEN series. The line's latest iteration is the E-PL5, a micro 4/3 camera that shares a few details with its more expensive brother, the OMD-EM5. It shoots beautifully—what's the catch?

[REVIEW-OLYMPUS PEN E-PL5 compact system camera]
This 16 megapixel camera uses the same sensor as the OMD E-M5, which means good low light, low noise performance and, with the kit lens, fast auto focus. The touch sensitive LCD swivels on one plane. Focus can be set and shutter fired with one touch on the critical point on the screen.

Olympus PEN E-PL5
First off, the Olympus E-PL5 inherits the exceptional 16-megapixel sensor from the groundbreaking OM-D E-M5, one of our all-time favorite cameras we've ever reviewed.
