Olympus pen e pl5 vs olympus pen e pm2?

The two bodies share the same 16.1-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, in-body stabilisation, and 2012 announcement, and they take the same lenses. The difference is the body. The Olympus PEN E-PL5 is the older, very cheap PEN. The Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the smallest PEN, with few controls. Pick the E-PM2 if you want something tiny and simple, and the E-PL5 if price matters most.

For lenses, I'd start with a few of these:

• Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 for everyday, 50mm-like framing
• OM System M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 for portraits
• Panasonic Lumix G 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II as a simple zoom

To convert focal lengths, use the focal length converter.
