Olympus PEN Mini Coming in September

Olympus has announced that its recently-unveiled PEN E-PM1 micro four thirds camera will be shipped starting next month. Touted as “the world’s smallest Olympus PEN” camera, the PEN E-PM1–also known as PEN Mini–features a 12.3-megapixel imager, a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, a simple user interface, a 3-inch LCD screen, 1080i HD video capture, RAW shooting, 23 “scene select” modes, three shooting modes, and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 12,800. The camera can also utilize interchangeable lenses.

This small camera is considered a step-up from ordinary point-and-shoot camera, since users can simply let the camera do the guesswork and still capture wonderful shots.

The Olympus PEN Mini will be available in six colors: black, silver, white, brown, purple, and pink. The suggested price is $499.99.
