The Olympus mju 9010 is a good looking and well made camera, with a well designed easy-to-use interface, with a price and feature set that put it in the middle of the long-zoom pack. The massive internal memory, built-in manual and downloadable software are useful innovations, but the sluggish performance, lack of AF assist lamp and image quality issues will limit its appeal.

Olympus hasn't really succeeded in improving a camera that failed to impress us last year. Plus, the design, handling and digital noise management have actually got worse! You can pick up a slightly better and slightly cheaper alternative from Fujifilm or a much better camera for a little more money from Panasonic. The choice is yours!
