Hi Elmokki,

I've an E-Pl5 which I stopped to use since I acquired an E-PL7 (2nd hand mint, like new) about 6 months ago. The PL7 is quite a step up compared to the PL5 (PL6), especially the 3 axis ibis is waaaaayyyyyyyyy better than the old two axis. Even if I don't have the E-P5 I can imagine it is even better than the PL7, especially its ergonomics if you have medium/large hands (I can confirm this because Inhappen to have bought a very cheap photographic bundle which inlcuded the old E-P3 and it is still an awesome camera from the handling standpoint). Additionally, the 5 axis ibis will guarantee you slight advanced stabilisation compared to the 3 axis one, therefore, if you can find it cheap, would be a step up to buy the E-P5 (even if it doesn't have the focus bracketing, being this one reserved to the latest OMD and PEN camera).

Cheers
