It has a better version of Oly's IBIS. Otherwise not much difference. The older IBIS on the 5 and below is really bad and can ruin more shots than it saves.

I'm going to have to disagree with this.  The question was P5 vs PL7.  I'm guessing you were answering PL5 vs PL7.

Every once in a while I think about upgrading my old P3.  The only advantages I can think of for the PL7 is that it is a bit smaller and has live composite if you need that.  Oh, and a selfie screen.  For my consideration the P5 has more advantages - 2 control dials +a 2-way switch vs 1 control dial for the PL7.  I think P5 has 5-axis IBIS while the PL7 has 3-axis, both do a nice job.
