Olympus Mju 9000 review

 

The segment of mega zoom cameras with a compact size has always been dominated by Panasonic's TZ (Travel Zoom) series cameras. Strangely enough, Panasonic was able to carry on without interference for quite some time, whilst the competition seemed to...

Olympus throws in the Mju 9000 to try and seize the much-desired title of most popular Megazoom camera. This segment has been in the limelight for the last few years now, not in the last place because of the innovative advancements that Panasonic has...

Olympus mju 9000 Review

 

The Olympus mju 9000 (also known as the Stylus 9000) is the first attempt at a travel zoom camera by Olympus. Offering a 10x zoom, wide-angle lens equivalent to a focal range of 28-280mm, 12 megapixel CCD sensor, and 2.7 inch LCD screen, the diminutive...

It's hard not to like the Olympus mju 9000. This is a well-made, easy to use point-and-shoot that will suit everyone in the family. The wide-angle 10x zoom is a real attraction in such a small camera, and should cover all eventualities for most of its...

You can even make your mother-in-law look good with the Stylus-9000.

In the saturated field of digital cameras, Olympus has been carving itself a respectable niche, powered by well-built, easy-to-use cameras with nice features and good looks. The Stylus-9000 is a great-looking 12-megapixel camera that offers a lot of...

Olympus Stylus-9000 Review

 

The Olympus Stylus-9000 fits comfortably into the compact high-zoom class that we've come to know and love.

Reliable auto exposure ; Great zoom power ; Good color reproduction

Poor at high ISO ; Uses xD memory card ; Few manual controls

There is a lot to like about the Stylus-9000, including ease of use, the zoom power, iAuto function and quick AF. There are also some things that are less desirable, including little to no manual control over exposure settings, poor performance at high...

Olympus Mju 9000 digital camera

 

The Olympus Mju 9000 is a small digital camera but it has plenty of features and a telephoto zoom lens

10x optical zoom, illuminated control buttons, great super-macro mode

Auto modes tend to over-expose shots on bright days, possible to install battery the wrong way around, soft images, uses xD cards instead of SD, sluggish performance

There is plenty to like about the Olympus Mju 9000: it has a great zoom lens, useful in-camera editing functions and panorama stitching. You might have to play around with it in order to get the best image quality, but it can take clear and vibrant...

Olympus mju 9000

 

With a 28-200mm lens and 12 megapixels, can the mju 9000 beat the Panasonic TZ7 at its own game?

The Mju 9000 is not a particularly pretty camera, but it is well designed and solidly put together. Physically it's about the same size as the Ricoh R10, and quite a bit smaller and lighter than either the Canon SX110 or Panasonic TZ7. It measures 96 x...

Olympus Mju 9000 digital camera

 

Olympus has launched a 12-megapixel 10x optical zoom compact in the guise of the Mju 9000 but should you bother? We get zooming to find out. So what's the final feeling? Well the Olympus offers a good zoom and some nice features, however we weren't...

10x zoom, some nice features

Images felt washed out, fiddly button layout on back

So what's the final feeling? Well the Olympus offers a good zoom and some nice features, however we weren't overly impressed with the image quality or the button layout on the rear of the camera.

Olympus Mju 9000

 

The Mju 9000 is one of the nicest Olympus compacts we've tested. It's the smallest camera you can get with 10x optical zoom, and we would recommend it unreservedly if it was a little cheaper and didn't have as many issues with noise.

10x optical zoom in a compact body. Bright LCD screen. Great quality lens optics. 28mm wide-angle lens.

Still uses xD cards. Few manual overrides. Very prominent noise issues over ISO 200.

In terms of appearance and overall functionality, the Mju 9000 is one of the nicest Olympus compacts we've tested. It's the smallest camera you can get with 10x optical zoom, and we would recommend it unreservedly if it was a little cheaper and didn't...
