Smallest Olympus to release next month

Starting next month, the smallest, lightest, and the most portable Olympus PEN camera – the PEN E-PM1 – will be available. The Olympus “PEN Mini” comes in six stylish colors (purple, pink, brown, white, silver and black) and packs a powerful punch with the same amazing image quality, lightning-fast speed, and 1080i high-definition (HD) video offered by the recently introduced PEN E-P3 and PEN E-PL3.

The “PEN Mini” is also the easiest PEN to use, with simple controls that enable you to effortlessly access the power of digital photography.

A step up from a point- and- shoot camera, the Olympus PEN E-PM1 features a new user interface that takes the guesswork out of capturing the perfect shot. A simple one-touch button enables you shoot HD video.

iAuto and scene select modes enable you capture images with ease and speed, and six built-in Art Filters enable you explore your artistic side.

The Olympus PEN E-PM1 puts the portability of a point-and-shoot with the performance of a DSLR in the palm of your hands.

“The Olympus PEN E-PM1 is the ideal camera for those interested in DSLR quality in a compact camera design. It’s fun to use, super powerful, and its small size means it’s the ‘goes anywhere you go’ PEN camera,” said Katie Roseman, senior product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc.
