The Olympus PEN E-PL5 is the sequel to the mid-range E-PL3 and adds a new hand grip and the same 16.1-megapixel sensor with TruePic VI image processing engine from the OM-D E-M5 for an increased dynamic range and maximum ISO of 25,600. It has improvements to the articulating LCD, which can now swivel 170-degrees upward to let users take self portraits and also adds touchscreen controls including a single-touch autofocus and shutter.
