The classically-fashioned PEN series of Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens cameras has afforded Olympus the opportunity to draw attention to the small, famous half-frame models that it made in its film heyday. But it wasn't only the size and style of the PEN and Trip cameras that lay behind their achievement - it was even their simpleness. And it's this ethos that explicates the E-PM1, or PEN Mini as it is probably to be encouraged to its target audience.


The Pen Mini really does live up to its name. On a prime or collapsible kit maximize lens climbed, it is very small surely. It isn't rather pocket able, but it's allowable more commodious to carry about as compared to any DSLR.

We can't watch E-PM1 users leaving the comfort of their kit maximizes to experiment on Olympus and Panasonic's broader scope of Micro Four Thirds lenses rather as much as E-PL3 or E-P3 owners might, but the option is there. As such, despite its similar size and pricing, the E-PM1 stands aside from high-end compact cameras as the Canon Power shot G12 and Nikon P7100 by virtue of its position in a system
