Life is too short for ugly cameras. Or fiddly menus. Or lousy pictures. So it’s good to know there’s the new drop-dead gorgeous Olympus PEN Mini. One of the world’s smallest and lightest system camera with interchangeable lenses, the E-PM1 is beautiful, takes stunning Full HD movies and stills - and couldn’t get any easier to use.

Taking style and functionality to new highs, the PEN mini has the smallest, lightest camera body we’ve ever produced in a PEN model. But as well as being easy to handle and thoroughly portable for everyday usage, it is also packed with smart features that make it extremely simple to take stunning photos. The integrated Live Guide helps users to enhance their still photos and videos with incredible ease. And with six Art filters to choose from, there’s also plenty of scope to get creative and instantly transform photos into striking artworks in seconds. Photographers can also look forward to SLR quality images, all thanks to a new 12.3 million pixel sensor and powerful TruePic VI processor. And that’s not all: It also has an ultra-stylish design with fashionable finishes such as interchangeable decoration rings for lenses. In short, the PEN mini is lightweight in design but a real heavyweight when it comes to optical performance and clever in-camera usability.
