The Olympus PEN mini E-PM2 is a very compact digital system camera for the Micro Four Thirds system, with the same small dimensions as its predecessor Olympus PEN mini E-PM1, but with grip element on the front side to give it ergonomy. It had been delivered with a miniature flash for the universal accessory shoe. It has a 16 megapixel imaging sensor of the second sensor generation of the micro Four Thirds system cameras, meaning that images shot with light sensitivity setting ISO 800 deliver much better quality than images shot with the first generation which gave good images only upto ISO 500. Another advantage of the PM2 is that its monitor is tiltable 90° upwards.
