Are you looking for an endless creative outlet that will keep you shooting with enthusiasm from dawn until dusk? If so, look no further than the double/multiple exposure mode. It can be found on a number of mirrorless cameras including but not limited to the Olympus OM-D E-M5, Fuji X100s, Panasonic GH3 as well as the camera I am currently testing, the Olympus Pen E-P5.

For those who’ve been locked in a dark room for the past two years, there now exists a new kind of internal stabilization that has got camera zealots buzzing. It has the fancy name of ‘5-axis stabilization‘, and was first introduced in the revolutionary Olympus OM-D E-M5. Using gyroscopic sensors, it detects the amount of camera shake. Then, the IS unit built into the camera compensates accordingly, delivering clear, sharp and detailed images every time. The name “5-axis” derives from the fact that the sensor shifts in five different directions – vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, vertical shift, horizontal shift and rolling camera shake.

In terms of specifications, the Pen E-P5 is so similar to the king of the Olympus mirrorless line-up, the OM-D E-M5, that one would hardly connect it to the prosaic Pen bloodline. To use a shallow metaphor, it is the “Kate Middleton” of cameras – a maiden arisen from humble beginnings, but destined for something much greater.

Just a week ago, we had a five-minute hands-on session with the Pen E-P5 at the Olympus Day here in Turin. Then, mere days later, this much-anticipated model from Olympus arrived in stores. Being the hopeless mirrorless enthusiasts we are, we immediately scooped it up from our friend Cristian at MCDigital, eager to see just how much this new Pen has improved on not only the E-P3, but the flagship model, the OM-D E-M5 as well. As it turns out, this little camera has lots to offer.

Yesterday, I had a brief encounter with the new Pen E-P5 at an Olympus product demonstration here in Torino. Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to take the camera out for a short spin as I had done with Fujinon 55-200mm last month, so I will limit myself to sharing just my preliminary thoughts about this new addition to Olympus’ line of mirrorless cameras. Here at MirrorLessons, we intend to fully review it when we have our own test model available, so stay tuned!
