Life is too short for ugly cameras. Or fiddly menus. Or lousy pictures. So it's good to know there’s the new drop-dead gorgeous Olympus PEN Mini. One of the world's smallest and lightest system camera with interchangeable lenses, the E-PM1 is beautiful, takes stunning Full HD movies and stills - and couldn't get any easier to use.
