Review: Olympus PEN E-PL5


This is a brief excerpt from F-Stoppers




In October, we had a huge month dedicated to all the great mirrorless cameras that are out there. While the Fuji X-Pro 1’s technology was promising, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 took away the best mirrorless camera award. While it’s all worth it, the OM-D E-M5 is a bit pricey, and therefore, not for everyone. So how do some of Olympus’ other cameras line up?Today, we have the PEN E-PL5.

First Impressions:

The Olympus PEN E-PL5 is, in many ways, quite similar to other Olympus mirrorless systems, staying true to the general design and button aesthetics of other models by Olympus, which seems only natural. However, you can feel the difference between this and the pricier E-M5. I’ll save some time by putting the moral of the story up front: you get what you pay for. But comparing the E-PL5 to the best in its class isn’t exactly fair. This camera is well-priced for what it is and will still save you quite a bit over the EM-5, so if you’re not still holding on to Google stock that you bought back in 2004, you should still definitely consider the E-PL5.
