E-PL5 a worthy camera all this time later?
Re: E-PL5 a worthy camera all this time later?

I have used the EPl2 and EPL3 cameras, but now use the EPL5 and EPL6 models. I love them and use three versions: one EPL5 converted to 720nm IR, one EPL6 converted to full spectrum to use a variety of IR and UV filters (and still able to shoot natural color with an external IR blocking filter), and one regular unmodified EPL5 for color or bw. The EPL5/6 sensor is much better than the old Olympus 12 found in the EPL2 and 3 models. I also have the EM5 and find the image quality the same as they all use the same sensor. I love the EPL5/6's because I can carry all three in a moderate sized bag with a few lenses which usually include the Pana 7-14mm, the Olympus 9-18mm, and the Pana 14-45. Since I am primarily a landscape photographer, I always use a tripod to insure "rock steady" image quality. In this regard the light carbon fiber tripod is also a real weight blessing. I also use the VF2 and VF4 finders which match the flip down screen and shoot almost exclusively in the horizontal mode. I am looking forward to the new Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 lens to use with this set up. The simplicity and mobility of these cameras is outstanding along with exceptional IR resolution and noise control.

We're Noct messing around with this review.
