Olympus om d e m5 vs olympus pen e pm2?

The OM-D E-M5 is the one I'd pick. It's weather sealed and has five-axis stabilisation in the body. The PEN E-PM2 is the smallest PEN, with few controls. Both use the same 16.1MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, so you're mostly paying for the E-M5's handling and sealing.

For an everyday kit on the E-M5, I'd start with:

• Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO, a sharp all-round zoom
• Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8, a small, light walkaround lens
• Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8, about 50mm on full frame, good for portraits
