The Tiny Mini Micro Four Thirds Camera. Exclusive Hands-on!

We don’t care who makes the smallest camera, since we just got our hands all over the tiny, mini form of Olympus E-PL2. It’s real, but non-functional.

It’s a toy. It’s a cute little cellphone strap for Olympus PEN fanboys. We think it’s 10 times smaller than the real E-PL2.

UPDATE 2: Two new models! E-PL1 White and E-P2 Black!

UPDATE: Check out how awesome it looks in Obama figurine’s hands!

It’s a not-for-sale item. It appears as a free gift from East Touch, one of the most popular fashion magazine among teenagers and 20’s men here in Hong Kong. It’s a really nice little gift, and we believe Olympus is putting efforts on their promotion for the E-PL2 in the city. Oh, we think this thing is made in China! (^O^)

The packaging box is nicely done, we love the small windows displaying the camera body and lens. There are two color options for the tiny mini E-PL2, black or white.

Wow!

Yeah, it’s cool.

White body plus silver lens!

Black body plus black lens!

Awesome.

Too bad there’s no red and silver version. (^_^)

Two lens — 14-42mm and 40-150mm. The build quality is good, lens is clear, mount is well-made.

For the body, it looks exactly like the real E-PL2, just waaaaay smaller in size. The screen shows nothing, and it has the silver buttons and a control dial on the top. We wish the dial is rotatable.

Looks like the lens fits perfectly to the body!

Cute!

Silver lens come with the white body, and black lens come with the black body.

This is how we attach the lens!

Wonderful.

And here’s a side-by-side comparison with the real E-PL2. Bloody hell, it’s so tiny!
