Review: Camera is defective. Screen is upside down and will not rotate with position of the camera. Also, this is an Olympus Pen E-PL5. The camera came in a box labeled for the E-PL8 and with the E-PL8 owners manual. Real helpful..
Review: I am no professional photographer. I mainly purchased this camera as a starting point for more serious picture taking and after reading the very few reviews out there on it, I had to have the E-PL5. It has everything I was looking for in the right size package and for the right cost. Only a couple things lacked in this camera (viewfinder, splash proof capabilities, a couple other small things), however, those things would have cost several hundred more bucks so it's okay by me that they aren't included. I am in love with this camera. It takes extremely high quality photos, even more so than my mothers D-SLR and my roommate's Sony NE-X. I did, however, have a rocky beginning. It might be because I needed to learn more about the shooting modes or it could the menu is somewhat difficult to figure out even for a tech savvy person (there are still things I'm finding that I can do hidden in the trenches of the menu sea). But, at first, I thought about returning the thing. Every picture I took indoors came out with a red tint to it and slightly blurry. I couldn't take any pictures inside that I liked and to have a camera in college, I definitely need something that takes good indoor pictures of moving subjects. I've had it for over a month now and have mostly learned the correct shooting modes for the correct environment. AUTO mode may be the only mode on the camera that I'm not a fan of. So if you aren't somewhat serious about photography and don't enjoy learning the modes to make a photo one of a kind, then I wouldn't recommend this camera. Overall, it's flat out awesome. The art scenes, the quality, the video, the look, size, cost, freedom, everything about this camera makes it the best purchase I've made.

*by T***W on 16 May 2016*

If I drop this camera in a river I will immediately replace it. I'm extremely impressed with the value I've gotten out of it. I bought this around the time I got married. It has been with us through our honeymoon and the first 6 months of our child's life, though our vacations, camping trips, or whatever adventure we get into. The size/weight makes it a no-brainer to carry around, so we usually have it when we want to capture a memory. The photos we have printed at the local photo lab turn out flawless. I've use heavier SLRs from the film age through digital. I decided I wanted to try micro 4/3 to see what the results of the digital-first approach to camera manufacturing. I'm certainly impressed with the results. The pictures turn out great, and I'm sure if I were to develop my skill as a photographer the camera would have no problem keeping up. I mostly use the 25mm prime lens from Olympus. Occasionally I'll have problems getting the camera to focus on the object I want, but using the touch screen is intuitive, and manually setting the focus points provides options for more advanced users. I think this camera is great for a wide range of skill levels and uses. It could possibly be the perfect all-around camera.
