The E-PL5 uses also a different display technology so you can’t really compare them just by the resolution. Try to see one in a store or so and give it a try.

The X-E1 is very similar, being essentially a stripped-down version of the X-Pro1. I only reviewed the Pro-1, as I was looking at the best that is offered today… Even though it’s more compact, you said it — the lenses still do make it less so. Mirrorless isn’t fit-in-your-pocket point-and-shoot. It’s just an opportunity to get great quality out of a package that doesn’t break your back. That’s what I’ve been considering, here…

I’ve read about others discussing the suitability of an APS-C sensor i.e. no point having a compact system if the lenses are big.

Did you consider the Fuji X-E1 in this ? Or does that just take same lenses as X-Pro1…..

dont you know there is high res evf on it. its essential if you are serious or even enthusiast. I had vf-2 on my e-pl1 and it was great. its 1.5 mp and you can use it for reviewing your photos, not just shooting and also its great use in videography as you have live view always on it brings you more stability. Not to mention omd’s 5 axis in body stabilisation

“…..All-in-all, I’m interested in usability and image quality….”

you should test the new E-PL5 .. the image quaility is better then that of the OM-D.

the E-PL5 has NO low-pass AA filter:

and it´s much cheaper then the OM-D.

as a DSLR user the OM-D cost too much for what are my needs (a smaller second camera to carry around all day).

i would buy an E-PL5 in a second if onyl the display would not be so lousy.

i hated the 410k display on my E-PL1… that´s why i sold the camera (beside that the AF was to slow).
the E-PL5 display is still a low resolution 410k display :-(
