The E-M10 Mk2?

I never suggested the Pen F as it is much more money but if you like the Pen styling you will love the F and get a bonus EVF (but lose the flash) over the EP5. The EM10ii will do everything better than your EP5 but it is a DSLR styled camera. For me I enjoy a retro Pen style for one lens and social out and about photos but an OMD for "serious" work. Good luck!

If you like a viewfinder and SLR styling then the E-M10 Mk2 is better in some departments (never buy the Mk3 for existing Olympus users). It has a newer image processing chip so can do the interesting Live Composite. It has a "lesser" shutter that goes to 1/4000 sec but against that it has fully electronic shutter available for shock free operation that can go to 1/16000 sec. The battery is the Pen type and not compatible with your E-P5 batteries. Still a tilt screen on the E-M10 Mk2 and not the awkward flip out sideways screen of the more expensive Pen-F. (Important to me as a screen only user).

My timeline shows a few basic features of the various Oly models. http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog/olyepl1/80-Oly-timeline.html
