Customer Review: Fifty-Fifty
Loved the features the Olympus Stylus 9000 has. I really liked the 10x zoom, it's panoramic photos processed right in the camera, super macro mode and many others. Unfortunately, the one I would use the most was a hit-and-miss for taking good photos. In AUTO mode you really have no control on what the camera focuses on, thus causing many blurry images. It was not camera shake nor zooming that caused the blur. I had the camera for 3 weeks and after testing it on many shots I finally gave up and returned the camera. Bummer, I really wanted that camera! I gave the camera a 3 star rating as half the photos came out clear and the other half blurry.
Customer Review: Super camera for the balance between features and portability
I bought this camera for my wife to replace our seven year old Canon S40 with a newer, more capable camera. The Canon has been a great camera for us, but this thing is amazing! I also bought an extra battery and instead of buying the Olympus proprietary XD card (only 2GB), I bought a 16GB micro SD. I also bought a micro SD to XD adapter. This camera has been great. It's small enough that I don't feel like it's a huge consideration to take it anywhere we go, and it has a super fast start up, making it ready to go right away. The 10X zoom on this size of camera is amazing. It takes great pictures, the colors come out great, and shooting video is super as well. My wife and I both like the evolution of the buttons and displays on the camera. They are much more intuitive and easier to navigate than our previous camera or a number of digitals that we've tested before. My only caveat is that under lower light settings, zoomed pictures may come out a little fuzzy because there just isn't enough light and the flash won't compensate that far away. When turning the flash off for longer shots like that, there is also a slight delay on the shutter, so practicing a little with a moving subject to get an idea of how much to anticipate is not a bad idea. We haven't played with the smile recognition for self-portrait timer shots or some of the other gee whiz capabilities. We will, but thusfar it has been used for the 98% of what we need a camera for: quickly and easily taking pictures of our family while traveling or participating in other events. In summary, this camera is a heckuva performer as a versatile and portable point and shoot. We highly recommend!
