Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a ‘5-axis’ stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.

The Olympus PEN E-P5 comes with high-end features, like an advanced 5-axis image stabilization, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 1/8000 sec. high-speed shutter.
