How is the E-PL5 inferior to E-PL6?

Yup, "inferior" is a strong word. It's the same camera but with a couple of little changes, like adding a level gauge (which I find irritating on my E-P5 so never use it).

If you ever shoot ultra wide, give it a chance. I tried using it with my GX8 and 7-14mm shooting some interiors and keeping the camera level made the images MUCH better, with fewer exaggerated lines, etc..

Yes, I use the 12-40mm, 9-18mm and Samyang 7.5mm and never use the levels, I use the LCD to get things right by judging what is happening to verticals and horizons, I find that way easier than trying to satisfy the level indicator.

I see the results that I need, and do not concentrate on the levels which seems to actually hinder the framing for me.

I like the Fuji implementation of levels a lot better, much easier to use.  When the camera is level either horizontally or vertically the color of the line changes.
