E‑P5 1442 Kit Silver
- Ultra‑fast autofocus system
- Intuitive touchscreen operation
- Live MOS Sensor with high dynamic range and low signal‑to‑noise ratio

Fully PEN in style and performance
Inspired by the now‑legendary PEN‑F camera from 1963, the retro‑style PEN E‑P5 has been given a thoroughly modern revamp that pushes the frontiers of quality imaging in the 21st century. The unmistakable kink along the top edge and the metallic front are undeniably premium and totally PEN. Yet you can take shots with pro‑standard quality excellence that surpasses even that of D‑SLRs. Via Wi‑Fi, sharing your hotshot images via your phone with friends is easier and more high‑tech than ever.
