I´d like to know the pros and cons when comparing the Olympus Stylus 1 vs. Olympus E PL5. Thanks

-Olympus E-PL5 has a much larger imaging sensor than the Stylus 1. Better low-light performance, able to make larger prints, and it resolves far-away details in landscape photos better (however this is only really noticeable when viewing photos at large sizes). However if you aren't blowing up your photos to huge sizes or do critical low-light work, you may not notice much of difference between the two.-The Stylus 1 can only close down to F8 when shooting manually (although it does have a Neutral Density filter to cut the light by an extra three stops). While the E-PL5's aperture can close down much farther than that.-The Stylus one has a bigger screen, built in EVF, and built in flash...which the E-PL5 does not. E-PL5 comes with a clip on flash for the hot shoe and you can buy an add on EVF at extra cost.-The lens of course on the Stylus 1 is much more versatile. You cannot get a constant aperture 28-300mm lens for the E-PL5 and if you were able to...it would substantially increase the size of the camera.While the E-PL5 is the technically superior of the two, most people I think would probably enjoy shooting with the Stylus 1 more due to the reasons I just mentioned above.

Do manual controls (Shutter and aperture) work when recording video?

Sorry, I don't use video. However, you can download the Stylus 1 owner's manual at: http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/STYLUS%201_MANUAL_ENG.PDFMaybe that will help.

Any suggestions for a bag that fits? I'm looking for a bag with a shoulder strap will be snug with just the camera, neck strap, and maybe a battery

Olympus suggests one that does just that. Olympus Nylon Camera Case for OM-D E-M10 and Stylus 1 Cameras, Black $10 on Amazon.
