Then the E-m10 came along, and it was named E-m10 because it had a viewfinder (but it used the earlier BLS battery). The E-P5 was announced and it used the BLN battery instead of the BLS battery. Finally, the Pen-F came along and it had a viewfinder and used the BLN battery. So by rights, it should have been an OM-D, but it was given the Pen name. And then there is the abomination called the E-m10 mark III, which 'simplifies' things, removing features (or hiding them) that were useful. So Olympus doesn't get a gold star due to clarity of its two lines either.

Using a camera without a viewfinder is hard. Luckily, even the E-P5 has a viewfinder, just not an eye-level one. If you followed the recent discussions on perspective, one interesting outcome is that non-eye-level viewfinders are actually better for judging perspective effects.
