[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.

Olympus E-PL5
The E-PL5 comes bundled with the distinctly plastic-y feeling, retractable M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R lens (one of over 20 available dedicated Micro Four Thirds lenses), with an interchangeable 'decoration ring', and the same sleek, chic retro styling we'd expect from the Pen range.
