Want something more than just a compact camera? The Olympus Pen Mini, or PM1, is designed for those who want something small and easy to use, but with better picture quality than a compact camera. The Pen Mini offers the same image quality as the EP3 in a smaller, streamlined body which is perfect for those who just want to point and shoot without any fuss. The lenses are interchangeable, and for the enthusiast there are Manual options, but the beauty of this camera is derived from its simplicity and outstanding picture quality. If you want to get creative, try using the provided Art Filters to add a bit of fun.

I love it!

Chris, Hampton, VIC

The Olympus Pen EPM1is a good looking small camera which produces excellent quality images without the bulk of an SLR. As with most digital cameras it takes practice to fully understand and utilise all its many features but this comes with time and practice. Unfortunately only the basic version of the manual is supplied in hard copy. The full manual is provided on CD. I guess I'll print it out some day. The lithium ion battery has a long life but its expensive at $90 or more so I have not bought a spare yet. Finding a suitable carry bag or case is not easy either. Bag makers do not seem to be designing for this style of camera yet. The smallest bag in the Crumpler range eventually filled the bill.

Pros: Easy to use, Compact, Battery life

Cons: Screen size

Certainly does what you want it to with a range or variable extras.

Simon, Adelaide

This camera provides its user with a tool to create intriguing art or simply snap a memorable shot. It can be used by both beginners and the experienced photographer however I believe a keen photographer (or learner) is best suited as they will have the ability to maximise the functions and specifications. A big bonus is the range of add-ons available such as lenses and a lot more.

Pros: Compact, Build quality, Battery life, Screen size

Cons: Complicated

Great little handbag camera

Stepqueen, Melbourne

I picked this up to live in my handbag instead of a phone camera. Image quality is excellent, tonal range great. Its very easy to use so long as you stay in auto mode but trying to use the many other modes can be slow and hard to read from the screen when outdoors. Also you need to have both hands available to unlock and lock the lens so don't expect to grab fast shots one handed. Trouble is, now I want some more lenses.......
