The EP5 is indeed the best model in the PEN line. There is no upgrade coming any time soon.

Yes, this camera offers most of the core features of the OMD line along with a series of nice refinements, such as 1/8000 max shutter speed, focus peaking, wifi, and with the latest firmware, an electronic-first shutter release to neuter shutter shock (this is a big one). It only lacks weather sealing.

It measures up well to the GX7. The difference comes down to the Panasonic having a built-in EVF vs. the attachment for the EP5, and better video on the GX7 vs better IBIS on the EP5.

Don't forget the GX7's better out-of-the-box handling and ergonomics, better interface, electronic shutter and Silent Mode, Extended ISO 125, Constant Preview in M mode… a great, if underrated, camera!
