The E-P5 was manufactured 4 years after the 7000 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-P5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus 7000 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple overview of how the E-P5 matches up against the 7000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus PEN E-P5 and Olympus Stylus 7000. The entire galleries are available at Olympus E-P5 Gallery and Olympus 7000 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-P5 and 7000.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-P5 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus E-P5 will offer greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-P5 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
