mju 9000

Get closer to the action The world's smallest and thinnest* 10x optical wide zoom digital camera. High-powered zoom cameras do not have to be bulky. Olympus believe even cameras with a high-powered zoom should have a slim, compact design. Compare the Olympus µ [mju:] 9000 with other 10x optical zoom cameras and you will see the difference in size. If you are looking for a high-powered zoom camera but with a thin, sleek design, the Olympus µ [mju:] 9000 is the only choice. Available in stylish Midnight Black and Royal Blue, the metal bodied Olympus µ [mju:] 9000 features a huge 10x wide optical zoom within an impressively slim and compact body to bring the action that bit closer. This state-of-the-art 12-megapixel camera also includes Dual Image Stabilisation for razor-sharp photography in otherwise tricky conditions, Shadow Adjustment Technology to deliver even exposures, plus Advanced Face Detection Technology for properly focused people pictures.

Description

With its striking 10x wide optical zoom (28-280mm equivalent in 35mm terms), the extra-slim 12 Megapixel µ [mju:] 9000 wields its high-performance lens to get right up close to distant subjects – or to pan out for magnificent wide-angle shots. The 6.9cm/2.7-inch HyperCrystal III LCD displays stunningly clear images even in bright sunlight, and its wide viewing angles make framing convenient from almost any perspective. Like each of the latest cameras in the "classic" µ series, this coolly styled model also includes Dual Image Stabilisation, a feature that reduces blur by using a mechanical image stabiliser and high ISO values. The sleek, metal-bodied µ [mju:] 9000 is available in stylish Midnight Black and Royal Blue variations, and shoots to both xD-Picture card and microSD.
