Super-fast autofocus, Responsive touchscreen, 2x2 dial control works well, Premium design is a step above previous Pen models, Great image quality matches up to OM-D E-M5, 1/8000th sec maximum mechanical shutter speed
Image stabilisation system emits a hum, Continuous autofocus not up to a DSLR standard, Pricey, Flash release often pressed by accident, Wi-Fi QR code app flawed, 2x2 dial not customisable, Focus peaking ought to offer more colours, Would like AF/MF switc
Big price equates to big things: the E-P5 is one of the best compact system cameras we've yet tested. But it's not quite perfection.Most of our criticism is small, but Wi-Fi is glitchy on some smart devices and doesn't offer as many options or as much con...
Fantastic screen, Lots of art filters, Built-in Wi-Fi, 1/8000 sec shutter speed
No built-in viewfinder, Limited remote shooting, Kit lens a little disappointing
We have not been disappointed by image quality from this camera, it matches the OM-D E-M5 in terms of detail and vibrance. The E-P5 is also well suited to shooting a wide range subjects...
Eye-catching design, Good level of image quality, Impressive handling, Quick auto-focus
Lack of built-in EVF, More expensive than rival models
There's little to disappoint with the PEN E-P5, both with design and performance of the camera on the whole. It's a little too pricey for us to recommend right now, but it's a good camera all the same....
Abstract: Recently we compared the Canon and Nikon systems to see what each had to offer. In this head-to-head we look beyond the big two; our Nikon D7100 vs Olympus E-P5 comparison aims to find out which is the best enthusiast-level camera.Introducing the contende...
Handsome retro styling, Very good image quality and dynamic range, with competitive high ISO performance, Lightning fast autofocusing, Excellent burst speeds (nearly 10fps at full res), Top shutter speed of 1/8000 second, Sharp, bright 17mm f/1.8 kit lens
Heavier than some mirrorless models, Weak flash, Below average battery life, No builtin viewfinder (but EVF available in a kit or for separate purchase), A bit pricey compared to the similar EM5, which offers a builtin EVF and weather sealing at about the
The Olympus E-P5 takes the best of its predecessor, the E-P3, and many features from the acclaimed OM-D E-M5, and adds a few new wrinkles of its own to make it the company's best PEN-series Micro Four Thirds camera yet. Key new features include 5-axis im...
By Josh Fate Olympus's newest leader in the Digital "PEN" series is the E-P5, a rangefinder style model that features many of the same, powerful components and features of their flagship OM-D E-M1. Sporting a 16-Megapixel Live MOS imaging sensor, TrueP...

Olympus' Pen E-P5 is a well-thought-out, elegant little camera with enough imaging and performance prowess to satisfy a huge number of shooters. It might not deliver the most resolution you can get from an ILC, but it certainly delivers sufficient resolut...
Super fast autofocus and shooting speeds. Excellent inbody stabilization system. Extensive bracketing modes. Bright, fast kit lens. Compact but still sturdy and comfortable. Good controls for both novices and advanced photographers
Limited WiFi features. Expensive for a mirrorless camera. Some onscreen touch icons are pretty small. Video options aren't as advanced as similarly priced cameras
Quality: above averageWhy you'd buy the P5: plenty of control.Why you wouldn't: too good for run-of-the-mill snap-shooting!I liked the P5 but felt some of the controls unnecessary: like the two control dials.Olympus PEN E-P5 SpecificationsImage Sensor: 16...

As the new top of the range PEN, the E-P5 has a good balance of features, best build of any PEN models to date and the best performing MFT sensor currently available. However, models such as the Nikon D7100, which adopts a new sensor, and, to a lesser ext...
