The Olympus PEN E-P5 is compared to the Olympus OM-D E-M5
Olympus OM-D E-M5 which is part of the high-end Olympus lineup of mirrorless cameras. In addition to having dual control-dials, the OM-D E-M5 has a built-in EVF with Eye-Start sensor in a weather-proof body and is therefore aimed at professionals, although it sells for the same price.
