Joining the family of Olympus Pen products is the lovingly nicknamed "[PEN Mini](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/25/olympus-pen-e-pm1-mini-gets-a-500-price-tag-september-release/)," or E-PM1. Compared to its big brothers the [PEN E-PL2](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/olympus-e-pl2-camera-gets-reviewed-deemed-worthy-to-carry-on-th/) and [E-PL3](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/29/olympus-pen-e-pl3-micro-four-thirds-camera-review/), this little guy packs some serious punch in a tiny body, with a similarly small price tag of $500. But can this [ILC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/interchangeable+lens+camera/) that Olympus claims offers "DSLR quality in a compact camera design" stack up against the big boys in the pit at the US Open? The 12.3 megapixel camera comes with a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens and includes a Micro Four Thirds mount, enabling it to accept compatible lenses from both Olympus and Panasonic -- something that was really easy to get the hang of for speedy switching between sets. Check out our impressions as we go hands-on with the camera at one of the biggest tennis matches of the year.
