the new [shoplink 40423 ebay]Gariz E-P5 case[/shoplink]
All different Olympus E-P5 kits are now in Stock and Shipping at Amazon US (Click here). But if you still need to read some more reviews before to buy it than here they are:
There is one review by Kirk Tuck:
It is, without any doubt, the finest digital camera Olympus has ever produced. While I like the feel of the original E1 a bit better the EP-5 runs circles around it in terms of overall imaging performance and the EVF makes it such an intuitive camera that it’s almost invisibly fluid in practice. It’s truly the flagship of the brand.
And the next review has been posted at Pocket-Lint:
Substance and style meld into one excellent camera. If you’re after a compact system camera without a built-in viewfinder then the E-P5 is as good as they come. If a viewfinder is essential then the VF-4 accessory is great, but it might make better financial sense to buy an OM-D E-M5 instead.
And if you want to make your E-P5 substantiably more sexy than take a look on the just announced new [shoplink 40423 ebay]Gariz E-P5 case (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
If you own other MFT cameras you can find Gariz cases for them too on [shoplink 40424 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] or Amazon.

If only I had a spare $1000 laying around. :/ That case looks great too!
EP-5 is still too expensive.I’ll never buy it!!
> I’ll never buy it!!
Just wait for the E-P6.
Wait one year, then, and it will be much less expensive. And when the next generation comes, it will cost one third…
After having a month with E-P5 silver, i think i should protect this camera as an investment, is truly beautiful both style and build quality, i have an X-E1 Fuji silver version too, but this E-P5 is more beautiful than Fuji X-E1
I meant i should buy this Gariz case for my E-P5
Which do you prefer, the Olympus or the Fuji for pictures?
I still can not open the RAW file on the E-P5 now ,so i can not give an exact opinion against XE-1,
but as for the JPEG , first ,; before i make comparison against X-E1, i honestly dislike the Fuji color on JPEG,.is watery color – oily yellowish color tone .
just as for the comparison,.actually the JPEG file from E-P5 is better than E-M5,.even though E-M5 has more DR but for the color tone itself,.i have to agree with Ming Thein in his review of E-P5,.as he said,.is the best JPEG color on any camera system,.it is more contrast -crisp, bold but yet not over saturated,.so forget about X-E1 to compare with.
As for the Oly P5 Raw files, you can download Adobe DNG converter for free and Lightroom 4 can process them.
Camera and case look very nice…but I am not buyin anything until the new Pany and Oly cameras are released…all of them…(eP-5 will have a price drop by then), that way I can make an informed decision…this should be FUN! 🙂
The case looks ok. Better on other models. Seems as if it would move around too much where the grip is. Still a nice case though.
I have the Gariz case for my E-PM2 4 months ago. I did a review of it over at dpreview.com, after asking for whether other people had tried the various leather cases. My short summary, is I like it, except for the side where it partially covers the combined cable (shutter release, USB, and composite video output), and blocks the HDMI cable.

My Pen is in urgent need of a tasteful man-purse. It should be big enough to hold essentials like a hair brush, lipstick, makeup mirror and a hanky. Would you please point me in the right direction?
I still see no sense in using a Gariz, what does it protect? Most of the parts of the camera are still uncovered. It seems it has only the function of a neglige – to make it look sexy… I expect from a camera cover protection against bumps/strokes etc.. And with not a lot of protection, it is a hell of pricing, for the already highly priced cameras
Rainer: I find full camera protection cases, like the Never Ready cases to be mostly useless, because by the time you get the camera out of the case, you have lost the decisive moment. If I want full protection, I will put the camera in my shoulder bag. In addition, the problem with many of those full cases, is they only work with a few lenses (or 1 lens). If I put my 14-150mm lens on the camera, it won’t fit in those custom cases.
As I said in the review on dpreview, I just like the feel of the real leather grip in my hand, particularly if I’m holding the camera for an extended period of time. Another reason I went for the Gariz, is it had the opening on the bottom to get the memory card/battery out without taking off the case, which is useful for my steampunk camera setups. However, I do agree it is a luxury item.
If you don’t mind fake leather, there are much cheaper options out there. The ebay seller ‘wayee2010’ has cases with 4 different colors (white, black, brown, coffee) for $12.50.
has anyone compared black and silver cameras with black and silver lenses, in a store? I will have to do it myself when I get a chance, but from the pics I can’t make up my mind about which looks nicer. Loved my ep-2 with all black leatherette skin a LOT, but the p5 in silver looks verrrry tempting I must say!
To me it seems that the silver body looks got with black and silver lanses… with the black body you might always have to buy black lenses (for a premium in my country).
sorry for the typos^^
Anyone know if the case interferes with the WiFi?
