📸 Capture Stunning Moments with the Olympus Stylus 9000 12 MP Digital Camera: 10x Wide Angle Zoom, Dual Image Stabilization, and 2.7-Inch LCD Display (Black) Review

I bought this unit because my Kodak DX6490 is too big to fit in my pocket and too heavy to wear around my neck for any length of time. I wanted something small, light and took great pictures. Not sure if you can have both (small and takes great pictures). I think my Kodak spoiled me. The stylus takes good pictures and has many features, but it doesn't have the image quality of my DX6490. I'll use it when I don't want to carry a heavy camera around my neck all day and it works reasonably well in

I wish I could say I liked this model as much as I did my old Olympus stylus. Maybe I just need to play with the features more, but I get weird color casts/hues when taking macro photos of small, detailed subjects and indoors. I need these photos for work - very detailed shots of small objects (fine detail is required for jewelry photography). This camera does a great job of capturing detail, but gold items often look like bronze and silver items can look blue. My old stylus (X-840) was…

I have bought many digital cameras over the years. I always try to keep up with technology! I have to say that this camera is so perfect for me. I have a baby and it's quick to catch her. I had problems with my previous camera because it wasn't fast enough. This camera takes high-quality, clear photos. I love that it captures people so well indoors and out. It's easy to use and so small you can take it anywhere. This camera is for everyone from parents to those going on vacation and just those…

I tried several cameras before deciding on this one. I wanted a camera that would take sharp pictures without having to use the flash all the time. I also wanted one that could take night shots with or without a flash. I returned to the Olympus family line. This camera takes beautiful pictures and has a focus assist. I have children, so I take a lot of photos. My kids are out and about, but this camera still captures them most of the time without a flash. With flash, the images are very clear…

I bought this camera about 8 months ago to carry around in my purse. (Fully protected in a hard case.) We also have a 6MP Canon DSLR that we bought in 2003, which was so expensive at the time, and this camera is BETTER and four times cheaper (over $1000 vs. $266). 10x zoom is equivalent to a 280mm zoom lens. Of course, this camera also has 12 MP. I can't believe you can get this kind of MP and zoom in with a pocket camera. Color and clarity are excellent even when used as a camcorder. It picks…

Well I'm again very happy with my new Olympus Stylus 9000. I took advantage of their trade-in plan and traded in my Olympus Stylus 840 which was also a great camera but I wanted better Olympus 9000 features like 12 megapixels and a 10x optical zoom lens. I also got a pretty good price when I traded in the 840. My great-niece got married at an open-air wedding in Pennsylvania a few days after I got the new camera, and I had little time to try out the new features of the new Olympus Camera 9000…

Love the camera! It is important to note what I was looking for when buying. I wanted: 1) COMPACT, 2) High optical zoom, 3) Shooting modes, 4) Ease of use 5) AFFORDABLE (I bought this camera for $300, $175 with gift certificates I already had so I ended up with 125 total $ paid I wanted an IDIO-PROOF camera because I am NOT a professional photographer and don't have the time or inclination to learn aperture or shutter speed and one that I can easily travel (put in my pocket) with I wanted…

*Updated April 5, 2009 I bought this camera to replace my Stylus 1010 which I have had for a year. The Stylus 9000 solved pretty much all the problems I had with the 1010. Here are some comparisons. Physical characteristics: Placed side by side, the 9000 stylus is definitely bigger and heavier than the 1010, but that doesn't matter, especially after the 9000. It has a solid metal body compared to the plastic body of the 1010. The 9000 isn't as sleek as the 1010 either , but it feels better in…
