Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the battery cover on the Olympus PEN E-PL6 is the same as the one on the E-PL5 or E-PL7? I need to order a new cover for my E-PL6 but Olympus' website only has them for the 5 & 7. I have found one for the 6 elsewhere but it's twice the price and doesn't look like it is an original part.

Thanks

It's exactly the same as the one for the E-PL5, except perhaps the cosmetic finish (it's made to match the bodywork and if it's a black camera, the E-PL5 is smooth black anodised metal whilst the E-PL6 is coarse matte sputter enamelled metal - though the door in both cases is of course plastic).

The E-PL7 door is different, as it is hinged at the opposite end.
