Reviews | 16 expert reviews (rating 79 / 100) • 146 user reviews: "The Stylus 9000 (mju 9000 in Europe) is the long zoom representative in Olympus' Stylus range of 'stylish' compact cameras...With a 28mm wide-angle and 'only' VGA video the Stylus 9000's is not one of the most highly specified cameras in this test, but its in-camera panorama mode is quite fun and worth a mention...At close inspection the results are not always 100% perfect but it is certainly a nice party-trick and good for those who can't be bothered with creating their panoramas in post processing...Color, exposure and auto white balance are usually good although a little bit of negative exposure compensation helps avoid blown highlights to which the camera is quite prone..." see less »
