The Olympus Mju 9010 is in itself a pretty good camera. It is a camera with a large optical range with which you can photograph all-round in a relatively simple way, as the theory goes. Whoever is looking for a small format, lightweight camera, but...

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...

The Olympus mju 9010 has left us with a more favourable impression than its little sister the Olympus mju 7040, chiefly because of its better lens and more robust build. Although a longer zoom typically means more compromises in the optical department,...

Quality: about average. Why you would buy the Mju 9010: you want an HD video camera with follow focus; you need a 10x zoom. Why you wouldn't: you need more control over picture taking.

What does make a good impression is the mju 9010's appearance. The camera's body has been re-designed, transforming the rather ugly shape of the mju 9000 into a very handsome new style. The body is fractionally thicker at 31.1mm, but smaller in other...

The classy looking Olympus Mju 9010 scores high in terms of features but it shoots just average quality images and videos. If you want long zoom and HD video in this price range, you can consider the Samsung WB550 which has a wider angle lens and more...

10x optical zoom ; Good flash exposure ; Only a few noticeable purple fringes ; 2GB built-in memory ; USB Charging

Images lack good sharpness ; Loss in detail and noise level is high at ISO400 ; Poor focusing in low light ; Slow shot-to-shot time ; Sluggish interface ; Insufficient shortcuts for basic operations ; Acceptable HD video quality

The new compact digital camera, Olympus Mju 9010 has a healthy list of features that includes 10x optical zoom, 2GB built-in memory, 720p HD video recording and HDMI out. However, it has barely acceptable performance in terms of speed and image quality.

The image quality is good with less obvious noise reduction effect than we find with most 14 megapixel compacts. The detail resolution of the Olympus is much better than that of our standard compact comparison camera. Exposure and white balance are...

The LCD is acceptable as a viewfinder but just barely adequate for reviewing captured images. Olympus make big claims for their HyperCrystal view LCDs which in our experience are not justified

This is a neat and well-priced camera capable of taking good pictures. We would recommend it more highly if the LCD were a better review device. As it is we like the image quality enough to excuse the screen.

Compact by name, compact by nature – but the Olympus [mju:] 9010 is tardis-like in terms of the amount of features and image quality is largely very good
