An Ode to Olympus Stylus 9000
Travel shooters who need a slick & stylish Digital Camera for their journeys should think of buying Olympus Stylus 9000. This point-and-shoot device is incredibly sleek and can be comfortably snuggled into a corner of your travel bag without any fuss.
A host of features in Olympus Stylus 9000 that are ready to serve the shooters are: 10x wide angle dual image stabilized zoom , TruePic III Image Processor, HDMI compatible, 2.7” Hyper Crystal III LCD, 12 megapixels CCDs, micro SD card compatible, Beauty mode, Face-detection technology, Intelligent Auto Mode, Shadow adjustment technology, xD Picture card compatible, faster shutter speed etc. Nothing can beat the sophisticated zoom that this camera is equipped with and also the editing functions that were provided internally will be of great help to you in the end.
Lack of enough controls stands out prominently in the overall functioning of this camera and makes it less-appealing than its rivals from the popular brands like Canon and Panasonic except for its incredibly small size. As the cameras of the rival brands carry more features and equally sophisticated technology for the same price Olympus Stylus 9000 is at loss in the competition. Though its impressive set of features might entice you initially, the fascination is likely to fade away once you start shooting pictures with it. As you go on with your shooting you will realize that, all is not well with this Digital Camera; you will be troubled by its noise while shooting in the dim environment and the colors of the images are also likely to put you off. Images look distorted in the ISO 400-1600 range causing the quality-seekers to seek away from this little wonder. Excluding this aberration, the device delivers decent enough pictures with good colors and sharp contrast. People would want to see more controls on its body for the price they are paying.
