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.

Pros:

- Broken Shutter
- Faulty Battery

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

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

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

Olympus E-PL5 review
Almost the same size as the equally new Canon EOS M, which will have the advantage in some purists' eyes thanks to a physically larger APS-C image sensor, the 16.3 effective megapixel Olympus E-PL5 has the edge for its charmingly retro styling, plus the fact that its backplate LCD can be angled for...
Pros:
- Sophisticated design
- Tilting touch-screen
- Anti shake built into camera
Cons:
- Small backplate buttons
- Plasticky kit lens
- Lacks convincing grip

Olympus E-PL5 review
We enjoyed the ability to fire the shutter with a satisfying clunk by tapping where your subject appears on screen. Plus with Art Filter effects that are fun and effective, and warm, bold colours delivered almost on default, apart from a few niggles this is a great step up option for anyone wanting...
