The image quality from all Olympus Pen cameras is excellent and the Mini is no exception. The Super Control panels works so well that it makes the lack of control buttons less irksome. Auto focus is fast and accurate.
The menu system has been criticised for is complexity. No one will come across the activation of the Super Control Panel by accident. The full user manual is essential, and pointandshooters won't read it, which is a pity

Good value when bought with standard zoom, competent and consistent performance, quick and responsive for the most part
No integral flash, rear operational controls and on-screen symbols are tiny, no dedicated delete button nor handgrip

Abstract: The E-PM1 is the smallest interchangeable lens camera from Olympus, and its video performance was surprisingly good for a camera that comes in such a small body. The PM1 recorded sharp Full HD video in our testing, although it struggled at times in our lo...
