Olympus E-PL5 in an Olympus Housing - best value

What can I say? Every Bluewater Photo customer who gets an Olympus PEN micro-four thirds camera is really, really happy with it. They are usually looking for better auto-focus and image quality than their compact camera system, and they are not disappointed. For a very good price, you can get a good housing, and great fish, reef and macro photos. For another $1,049 you get a wide-angle lens and dome that gives you stunning 180 degree wide-angle shots.

 

The Olympus E-PL5 is a mirrorless camera, which accept micro-four thirds mount lenses. It has a sensor 4-5 times larger than high end compact cameras, and can auto-focus while taking video. The housing is larger than a compact camera housing, but much smaller & lighter than a dSLR housing. The E-PL5 comes with a great 14-42mm kit lens.

Same amazing sensor as the Olympus OM-D
