Average Camera Review Rating [5 reviews]
Olympus Stylus 9000 is a 12-megapixel compact digital camera that comes with 10x wide-angle optical dual image stabilized zoom (28 - 280mm
equivalent in 35mm photography), In-Camera Panorama, TruePic III Image
Processor, Compatible with xD Picture Cards and microSD memory cards,
HDMI compatible, and a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal III LCD. The camera
measures 3.8-inch W x 2.4-inch H x 1.2-inch D (96mm x 60mm x 31mm) and weighs 6.5oz
(185g). Here is the summary of review from CNET, giving the camera a rating of 6.6 out of 10:
"Compared with the TZ7 and SX200 IS, the Mju 9000's image quality was lackluster. We could tell that the three shooters' pictures are on par at ISO 200. But when we captured the same scene at ISO 400, the Canon and Panasonic shooters produced less noisy photos than the Olympus. At ISO 800, the SX200 IS performed the best, churning out shots that had the least noise and retained the most details. Take a look at the comparison chart on the left.
In all, we were satisfied with the color reproduction of the Mju 9000. Hues were natural and didn't look oversaturated. The tones appeared faithful to the scene, which showed that the auto white balance worked well to remove any unnatural color cast. Despite its professional look, the Mju 9000 didn't quite deliver as expected especially in the image quality department. But if you are not fussy about image quality and just want a user-friendly, long-zoom compact, then perhaps you can consider this Olympus. If not, the SX200 IS or TZ7 may just be a better bet."

Olympus Stylus 9000 Camera Reviews Roundup
| LetsGoDigital: "Whilst using the Mju 9000 in practice, we frequently stumbled over the complicated menu structure of the camera. Before you actually enter the menu, you have to pass some sort of start screen, which brings on a delay. The time required to recharge the flash was so long that it became annoying while shooting. Also when writing the captured files to the memory card, we encountered a delay of several seconds. The butto..." - Oct 20 2009 More » | |
| DigitalCameraReview: "The Olympus Stylus-9000 finds itself in a category of camera just below the ultrazoom, but has just enough focal power to get itself out of the standard 3x zone. It aims to provide a broad spectrum of zoom range and 12 megapixels of high-resolution. The 12 megapixel club seems to the sweet spot where noise is filtered out because of larger pixel sites on DSLRs, but this mentality doesn't transfer well to the image s..." - Sep 11 2009 More » | |
| GoodGearGuide: "Other useful features of the Olympus Mju 9000 include Shadow Adjust, which does a good job of illuminating a shadowed area in a bright picture; beauty mode, which airbrushes portraits; face detection; and a super-macro mode. It can shoot macros from as close as 1cm away and its narrow depth of field blurs the image around a centrally focused subject. Many of these features are also available on other Olympus c..." - Jun 15 2009 More » | |
| ePhotoZine: "What began as an impressive display of features and build quality slowly soured as I used the camera more and more. If this camera can be kept in normal balanced daylight that's bright enough to use a low ISO then the results will be acceptable. That's the problem, though. I'd expect them to be more than acceptable as a camera that sits higher than others in its range and no flashy graphics or lit up buttons c..." - Jun 11 2009 More » |
