Lift up your head, Guy Parsons

I've un boxed, inspected, and tried out the OMD M5 II, and your P5 is blessed among the righteous, for it had years ago, what the OMD M5 II still has today, which is the quality, construction, and feel of the best grade of MFT camera Olympus can make. This was found on the original, short lived P1, P2 and P3, and continued with the OMD M5 and Pen E-P5.

The P5 is the same grade of camera, as the OMD M5 II.

Both have essentially the same sensor and are essentially the same in how well they function to take photographs. Only gee gaws and foo fraws, not essential to the camera's righteousness, separate the two cameras. They are far more alike than they are different.

The creators of the cameras from Olympus, made sure that if it's their best grade of MFT camera, it takes the same battery as all the other best grade cameras, beginning with the OMD M5 and P5.

But in a more somber note, we should all admit defeat.

Once you have a P5, there are no more Olympus hills to climb.
