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.

Same with the GX8.

The GX7 and GX1 have the level thing, too, but I never bothered to try it out.
