Really cool camera
This is a really cool camera. I got it for my upcoming trip after toying around with the epl3. Nice step up. Very lightweight and small. Get a pancake lens to make it even smaller. I like that you can map out the buttons and setting to your liking.
Pros:
- Lightweight Compact Customisable Responsive touchscreen Lots of lens options
Cons:
- Kit lens is ok
- Touchscreen is kind of gimmicky
- No built in flash or viewfinder

I like this camera because it produces good pictures with colours that suit me. In addition : 1. It has a decent viewfinder (accessory) because even in gloomy England an LCD screen often becomes useless as soon as a bit of sunshine appears. 2.

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 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.
