Super special on Olympus E-PL5 in the US
On Amazon (US) Olympus E-PL5 is selling for ~ $500 including some extra. The camera has the same sensor as Olympus OM-D E-M5, so the image quality is as good as you can get from the current generation of Olympus compact system cameras. The camera does not have the latest image (sensor) stabilization system (it was "reserved" for Olympus E-P5). But with tilting screen the offer looks very attractive.The camera is very compact, and the image quality is superb.

Reviews on CameraLab
Nikon P7700 vs Canon G15
Nearly all major camera makers updated their advanced compact model this year. Both Nikon and Canon upgraded lenses on their models, Coolpix P7700 and G15. Nikon has very attractive zoom range, 28-200 mm eqv and fairly bright F2-4 max aperture which is similar to old Minolta Dimage A1/A2 cameras. Canon put 28-140 mm eqv F1.8 - F2.8 lens. Both cameras have 1/1.7" 12MP sensors. Both are less pocketable than Olympus XZ-2. CameraLab posted a review of P7700 with comparison shots against Canon G15. I like approach of the real-life shots used by this site.
Olympus E-PL5 vs Canon M
The site also has Olympus PEN E-PL5 review with shots against the first Canon mirrorless camera, Canon M. It seems that at the setting used for high iso shots, Olympus E-PL5 has certain edge over Canon M (see iso 800 or 1600 shots). Probably with careful RAW processing it would be possible to have different outcome but nevertheless this comparison demonstrates how good is the sensor and JPEG / image processing in Olympus E-PL5 and OM-D E-M5 (both cameras share the same sensor and image processing).

Sensor in Olympus OM-D E-M5
It is all around the web: sensor in Olympus OM-D E-M5 is the best sensor in any m4/3 camera produced so far. Some parameters such as dynamic range is comparable to Fuji X100. I would expect that new Olympus E-PL5 will be the best selling PEN camera. Well, probably one of the best. While the E-PL5 does not have external controls of OM-D E-M5 or viewfinder, it has the same sensor and should be able to deliver the same image quality as the OM-D E-M5. Unfortunately, the camera is not available yet in Australia.
