Olympus PEN E-PL5
The Olympus E-Pl5 boasts of a large number of features in a very compact body. It has the same sensor and image processor as the more expensive OM-D E-M5 and dishes out some rather amazing images. It is easy to use for the most part, but feels a little cramped.
Pros:
- Very fast AF
- even in Touch mode
- Very good image quality
- Very fast burst mode of 8 frames per second
Cons:
- Frustrating menu system
- The back of the camera feels extremely cramped

Amature Photographer
Prior to purchasing this camera, I was shooting with a Canon T3i. I have now put the T3i away and find myself taking this little camera with me. Once you turn the warm feature off, this camera takes the best pictures I've ever seen.

If only I could afford another!
A great lightweight system camera. Very quick from switch-on to being ready to take a picture. Love the flipable viewing screen helps to eliminate glare and helps to change camera angle without having to get yourself into awkward positions.
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
Cons:
- None

- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus

Pen E-PL5
With the OM-D E-M5, Olympus has a real winner with its retro DSLR looks and the fastest autofocus yet on the company's camera. The problem, of course, is that the OM-D E-M5 is on the high-end of the Olympus range, with a price to match.
Pros:
- Fast autofocus
- easy-to-use controls
- nifty touchscreen
- A tad small for people with big hands
Cons:
- A tad small for people with big hands

small, quick auto-focus, moveable LCD, half the price of OM-D, good results
this is an excellent camera. this camera beats everything in size and in picture quality. if you want small camera to take around and do not want to give up on quality and all the options then there is nothing better than this. I use mine with voigtlander 15mm f/4 and results are stunning.

Awesome!
I am a novice when it comes to cameras, digital or otherwise. All of the other reviews, seemed to be speaking French, at least for a novice, like me. So I decided it would be a good idea for me to write a review from the "novice" perspective.
