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.
