Re: Olympus PEN-EP5 Broken.

You could try a sad but polite message to Olympus telling them how disappointed you are in their product.  Many years ago we had a TV that died and required very expensive repairs after only a few years.  It was almost cheaper to buy a new one!  I wrote to Sony (I think it was) and told them how it had replaced a still functioning Philips set we had had for many years and how disappointed I was in their product!

Shortly after the shop contacted me and said that they would provide parts free and we would be charged labour only.  Very satisfactory outcome.

I don't know where you are from, but we have consumer laws that required goods to be "fit for purpose" and therefore have a reasonable life-span.  Of course TVs have a much more benign existence compared to cameras that can suffer horrible abuse....!
