E-PL5 naturally
6

I have E-PL1, E-P3 and E-PL5.

Though the E-P3 feels a nice camera to use and does have that extra Fn button plus the thumbwheel, it's the E-PL5 that gets 99.999999% of the shots in my hands.

Better image quality, better focus in low light, bend up/down LCD, ability to use OIS of unswitched OIS Pana lenses, and my total favourite feature = ability to assign MySets to any Mode spots - suddenly MySets are extremely useful.

Those features plus the results that I get make it the best of the Oly cameras at present, even better & more useful than the E-M5 to use. OK the IBIS is old but who needs that all the time? The better high ISO ability compared to the old sensor makes the need for IBIS less anyway.

I see that I will get rid of the E-PL1 and E-P3 and get a second E-PL5 body and then wait it out until global shutters become available.

My pages slowly growing on E-PL5 info.

Regards.... Guy
