The "clunky" description works for me. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I actually find it more responsive and even more customizable than the E-M5. Only annoyances for me right now is the grip and the clunky wifi integration.

Are you having trouble pairing your E-P5? I've only succeeded twice. I've installed the profile onto my iPhone, made sure the E-P5 wireless connection was activated (in the phone's Wi-Fi settings menu), but it usually fails to pair. I'm thinking of going to a shop to see if I can pair my phone with a display camera.

Hi RV Abbott, I read your P5 review with great entusiasm and also the problem you experienced with the WiFi-connection. I have not had any of those issues. The camera connects perfectly every time. I'm using Android on a Samsung S4. Read the QR-code once, that's it. But the camera doesn't stay connected. Next time it's turned on, I have to "push" the wifi "button" on the lcd, the qr-code displays, and If my phone is connected to another network I have to shut that down and start the P5-network.
