It has less dynamic range than the EM-5 despite sharing the same sensor.

EPL-5 crippled !

Is some kind of citation with some kind of qualification. For example, "The JPEGs exhibit worse DR but we haven't been able to check raw output in ACR".

The Review says...
- if you’ve used the OM-D, you can safely skip this section. The files look exactly the same, and deliver the same amount of flexibility in postprocessing .

Numerous much more expensive cameras has less dynamic range than the E-M5.
Ming Thein has said his E-PL5 images look exactly like E-M5's. So, if there is a difference, I think it is quite negligible. I suspect many camera makers would love to have their MILCs similarly crippled.
What is really happening, looking at the fire sales of the GX1, etc, is that this E-PL5 will be crippling all other such MILCs costing around $650.
IrishAndy . . . the newest addition to my ignore list!

Does not sound like the EM_5 to me. I can recover 2 stops.

Ming's review has a lower estimate for the DR of the OMD compared to DXO. We're in the realm of subjectivity here; specifically how far a subjective photographer feels comfortable when pushing and pulling those files to get the desired result. Even on my lowly 12MP cameras, I'm occasionally quite happy to push the shadows by a stop, for example, because I know in these situations it will all look fine and dandy in a 16" wide print.

Indeed.Numerous much more expensive cameras has less dynamic range than the E-M5.

The GX1 served its purpose, which was to prevent Olympus from earning any decent profit from the previous PEN series. After crippling the PL3 and PM1 it is now itself being crippled by the new PENs, with the PL3 and PM1 being further pushed down. There has never been a better time to buy one of these older, but still quite capable, models.

So should we listen to your contrived interpretations of what the reviewer thinks, instead ofwhat the reviewer actually says? Hmm..probably not.
I doubt it.
Olympus may have changed the JPEG contrast or something like that for some reason, but that does not mean there's less DR. I am sure if you shoot RAW you will get the same output.
Count me in also, you seem to collect people to ignore. Hard to see why anyone should put him on a ingore list, just because of his post.

He's talking about the highlights. Overexposure is still limited on the E-M5, like it is on most - if not all digital cameras. This is why people expose to the right. You can still capture the highlights and recover the shadows .
Overblown response to a review for sure.
Not really: GX1 is old enough and I guess if it could it has done well. EPL5 introduction is a year later, so no problem there. GX2 will do it I hope for Panny. Today I bought me a EPL5 BTW. Seems a nice companion to my GH2.

I wish this forum still had 'thumbs down' button. Sigh. So 'Thank you for posting!'.
PROVE IT!!!!!
