2018 Olympus E-pl5 Old Camera New Test

English | 正體中文


I had owned not less cameras, including the DSLR, Mirrorless, Compact Camera. However, they were heavy or poor image quality. Now, the Canon 60D is my major camera. It brought me to the base camp of Mount Everest and recorded my trip. It is heavy, I unwilling to bring it out from my backpack. I loss lots of moments because of the weight. Hence, I decided to buy a small camera after I backed to Hong Kong.
Base Camp of Mount Everest




Before, I had two mirrorless, Canon EOS M and Sony NEX 5R. 


The first camera recorded I and my family in South Korea. Although it is inexpensive and the larger amount of backup lens in the group of Canon, it's slow. The focusing speed is very slow, it may slower then some compact camera. So, I sold it after I came back to Hong Kong.

Sony NEX 5R, the focus is not bad, but the software is not good. It's very soft. What do soft mean? The camera always stuck after taking one picture. It brought me the bad experience.

So, I found a satisfied Camera in a second hand market.  The Olympus E-PL5


Pure Body with a little handle. In fact, the handle is not that comfortable but better then nothing.

The handle is changeable and fixed with a screw. Also, the flippable screen is easy to take a selfie.

After the one month trip, my career was start. 9am to 6pm  even 7pm, then go home dinner sleep wake work go home dinner sleep wake work go home dinner sleep wake work day by day week by week. It's dull. Any motion and passion  will be gone. I bought this light weight camera to find my passion.

The 16:9 format was set by the seller.







The stabilizer works on 1/4s




The manual is complicated. Hard to find the ratio setting.




Extreme low light performance


One Star in the star.


The Auto-White Balance is unstable. The left is a bit cool but the right one is a bit warm.


Hard working street sign


The dynamic range is not really high. The sign is over exposure, and the background is very dark.


Tele to the home.
The street light is a bit over.



As right-top corner, the 14-42mm kit has poor anti-glare. Purple light is reflected.

Normal walk testing……with the body stabilizer. Um.... not good.


Nowadays, the large amount of  camera user disappear because of the smartphone and social media. The phone camera has not bad quality and share to friends easily. People will willing to hole a smartphone but not a heavy camera. I believe that the brands should "ganbade" on their word. And I should work on my camera but not smartphone since the china phone perform badly.
