[ Camera ] All about the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5

[wackykid]

Received mine yesterday.



Coming from a E-PL2 user, 1st impression, welcome the new sensor but body not as ergonomic as the E-PL2 esp the grip. Have to get use to the buttons layout as well. Need some time to get used to it.

wah... did u buy from adorama...? i see that the grip comes with it....

and i'm also E-PL2 user...

Charger no issue. Voltage is universal, only the plug is US plug. A adapter will fix it.
