Thanks for the very informative information.

That's still useful things added IMO.

Useful if they are of use to the individual. Some can live without those features.

BUT I do have one theory for newer body. Even with same sensor, they had more time to work out the bugs and improve sensor efficiency at the backend.

It's really an E-PL5, just released a few months after the E-PL5 for the Japanese market, any updates would have also sneaked into E-PL5 updates.

For example, the EM10 II has the EM1 but seems to have better IQ test results.

E-M10ii has a Sony sensor (like the E-PL5/6) and the E-M1 has a Panasonic sensor, they deliver different results.

Guy the E-PL5 and 6 are basically the same, but I did see reviews that stated that the E-PL5 had more DR and slightly lower noise than the E-M5 even though they share the same sensor, it was because Olympus tweaked the processing according to the review.
