Olympus E-PL7
What reviews say:

'good-looking, well-made camera'

'Outstanding image quality and performance make this classically designed rangefinder model a must have for anyone looking to upgrade from a point-n-shoot or just someone looking for a compact ILC to travel with.'

'In-body image stabilization.'

'Battery here life is a respectable rather than exceptional 350 images from a full charge – but that is about average for a compact system camera in this suggested £499 price bracket. '

Sony Alpha A5000
What reviews say:

Sony's entry-level CSC stays simple, but adds Wi-Fi and a top-end processor

It's one of the smallest and lightest cameras of its type, and it has a heck of an auto mode

The Alpha A5000 is excellent for those of leaving the land of compacts for an interchangeable lens camera, but to achieve its affordable price, there are limitations.
