The Olympus E-PL5 is a new Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera with a 16MP LiveMOS sensor. The new mirrorless camera sports an all-metal body, a 170-degree tilting LCD and captures 1080i HD video.
Olympus also introduced a new body cap alongside the E-PL5 that sports a built-in 15mm f/8 lens, which means you can grab a quick shot without a bulky lens (you know, since it’s a lens too…).
The Olympus E-PL5 should be available in October for $699. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
