It supports Micro Four Thirds lenses, providing a wide compatibility range with compact and lightweight optics. The autofocus system features contrast-detection with multiple AF modes to enhance focusing accuracy. Additionally, the E PL5 supports Full HD 1080p video recording at 30fps with stereo sound input for versatile multimedia use.

The OM SYSTEM E PL5 excels in delivering high image quality from its 16MP sensor paired with a powerful image processor. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for photographers on the go. The tiltable LCD screen improves shooting flexibility, especially for low or high-angle compositions. Compatibility with the Micro Four Thirds lens system gives photographers access to a broad selection of lenses. The camera's fast startup and autofocus speeds enhance usability in dynamic shooting scenarios. Full HD video capability allows users to create high-quality video content with ease.

As an older model, the E PL5 lacks built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity commonly found in newer models, limiting instant sharing capabilities. It does not feature a built-in electronic viewfinder, relying solely on the rear LCD for composing images in bright conditions. The camera’s battery life is moderate, requiring additional batteries for extended shooting sessions. Its autofocus system, while effective, may be less performant compared to modern hybrid phase-detection systems. The continuous shooting speed is relatively modest, at around 5 frames per second. Video recording options are limited to 1080p 30fps, without higher frame rate slow-motion capabilities.
