The E-P5 is a camera I really like. I've held it multiple times and
find it to be just about perfect... Except for the chicken head. Had
Olympus done what they were supposed to and placed the EVF inside the
camera like Panasonic did with the GX7.

The E-M1 is the "SLR-format" version of the E-P5, but still lacks the
size and weight to be proper for the shape. Panasonic just might have
nailed it with the GH4 for the SLR-shaped m43 camera. The GX7 is a
unique bird. The more I look at it, the more I like it. But it just
doesn't have that high-class refinement of the E-P5.
