Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M is a functional miniature digital camera

Japanese manufacturer Kenko Tokina released Pieni M, a functional miniature digital camera that can produce photos similar to watercolor paintings and record videos like the golden days of compact camcorders. Shutterbugs in the house, or those who want to step back into the nostalgic era of the digital cameras’ advent, can bring the Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M anywhere since the functional miniature digital camera fits the palm, is held between fingers to take images and videos, and can be slung around the neck with its included strap. The manufacturer says that Pieni means ‘small’ in Finnish, and in this case, it lives up to its name.

At first glance, Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M looks like a toy camera. Thanks to its LCD display that shows the images and videos before saving them, it cements the fact that this is a functional miniature digital camera, just a smaller version of an already compact model. It is small and lightweight enough to hold between the user’s fingers, and switching between video recording and photographing is within a touch of a button found on the side of the tiny camera. Voices are registered too, since Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M records the audio and sounds in the surroundings.

Images taken similar to watercolor paintings

Fans of aesthetic photos might want to take a look at the watercolor effects of Kenko Tokina’s functional miniature digital camera (see the sample images below). It’s not a filter but an automatic feature that Pieni M makes. The components it’s using may be elements to consider for the quality of images and videos it takes, but with the new wave of blurry-effect followers, this may be considered refreshing instead of low definition. Speaking of filters, that’s an option too in Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M since the functional miniature digital camera offers around five filters for the images, so the user can apply monochrome, orange, blue, or green filters to their snapshots.

MicroSD for storage and file transfer

The images have been taken, and the videos have been recorded. The user can see what they looked like on the tiny LCD display before they saved them. When it’s time to transfer them to a smartphone or upload them to cloud storage, it’s easy since Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M has a USB port. The functional miniature digital camera is also MicroSD-ready, which acts as its storage, so the user can easily import the images and videos to their computer using the included USB cable or a separately-sold memory card reader. As of publishing the story, Kenko Tokina’s Pieni M is available in two colors, classic black and chic grayish blue, and online for around 48 EUR per piece.
