[zniter81]

Hi Guys,

I am a Nikon user, currently using d700. But I wan to migrate to Olympus system.
but I am stuck with either OMD EM5 or Pen PL5.

Function I like about OMD EM5,
EVF,

Function I like about Pen PL5,
small size,
WIFI,

Is there any remote shutter release for these camera? I sometime do fireworks

Ever consider EM10 instead as it have both functions you looking, EVF & WIFI.
Yes 3rd party remote available as I'm using one

Yah, been considering it too!
so the difference is only 3-Axis IS? (couldn't spot other difference)

Doesn't really matter cos your Nikon D700 also don't have IS right and are you getting blur images from your dslr?

haha!!! yeah! but I usually try not to shoot with slow shutter speed.
but if OMD EM5 is good in the 5 axis IS, then is an advantage

zniter81 got it all wrong, he was actually considering Pen EP5, OMD EM5 and OMD EM10. As I mentioned to him the various difference between those models, my guess is that from him he will probably get EM-10 with a proper stabalisation, EVF and compact size.

EM10 bro everything u need in a small package. EVF, wifi and IBIS.

The EM5 is much older in comparison hence get the EM10 instead.

Only con is u might have issues with the larger lenses like the 12-40/2.8.

The EM10 grip is a good accessory to own if you plan to have larger lenses. EP5 would not have this grip, though there's 3rd party. EM5 grip would be more expensive as it's also battery+hand grip. EM10 has live composite which none other pervious cameras has. You don't really need remote, as there's olympus image app via wifi / use live time + black card to start & stop. EM5 does have weather seal which EP5/EM10 won't
