Olympus µ-9000 : Olympus µ-9000, µ-7000, and µ-5000 Redefine High-performance and Elegance.

Olympus just dropped three new 12Mpix point and shoot digital cameras, the µ-9000, µ-7000 and µ-5000. Now let’s focus our attention on on the top of the lineµ-9000.

The all mighty µ-9000 features a 10x optical zoom (28-280mm), a 2.7” HyperCrsytal III LCD, a Dual Image stabilizer, face detection, TruePic III image processor, 45MB of internal memory, and records video in VGA mode at 30fps,as well as a "Beauty Mode" which give a smooth render on faces, all packed in a body of only 96x31x60mm weighing 185g.



µ-9000
With its striking 10x wide optical zoom (28-280mm*), the extra-slim 12 Megapixel µ-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” 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 model also includes Dual Image Stabilisation which reduces blur by using a mechanical image stabiliser and high ISO values. The sleek, metal-bodied µ-9000 is available in stylish Midnight Black and Royal Blue variations.

µ-7000
The 12 Megapixel µ-7000 incorporates a versatile 7x optical zoom (37-260mm*) and a big 7.6cm/3.0” HyperCrystal II LCD to facilitate ultra-convenient framing and viewing. This elegant model also features a clever Smile Shot function which ensures that those being photographed are at their smiling best – because the camera doesn’t trip the shutter until the pearly whites have been flashed. The µ-7000 comes in three attractive colours: Starry Silver, Midnight Black and Ocean Blue.

µ-5000
With its 5x optical zoom (36-180mm*) and 12 Megapixels, the µ-5000 is the perfect choice for flexible, high-performance photography. As with all the new classic µ cameras, this stylish camera has Perfect Shot Preview on board. This enables changes to various settings to be viewed and compared with one another in a multi-frame window on the 6.9cm/2.7” HyperCrystal II LCD before shooting. A further handy function is Perfect Fix: it lets red-eyes and shadowy areas be removed from photos, directly in the camera. The ultra-slim µ 5000 is available in a choice of Metal Magenta, Atlantic Blue or Midnight Black models.
