I don't use mine much any more — but

I used my E-PL5 for almost a year for my weekly sports and other freelancing work for a small town weekly newspaper (Hopestandard.com).

Before I jumped from 4/3 to micro 4/3, I wanted to see if it was viable for my purposes. I soon saw that it was as good — or better — than my E-5, except for weatherproofing. To address that issue I got an E-M1 and the E-5 was sold.
The E-PL5 serves as a back-up or my "light kit" camera.

DEFINITELY get yours activated for the Super Control Panel, which makes many functions very easy. See Guys' tips, as Olympus' help guide is fairly hopeless — especially on the SCP activation.
