Olympus Mju-9000 Compact Digital Camera With 10x Optical Zoom

Standard compact digital cameras are normally designed to be small and portable. The zoom range capability is usually less than for bridge cameras and about 3x to 4x optical zoom only. If you are looking for a portable compact digital camera which does not compromise on its zooming ability, Olympus Mju-9000 might suit your requirement. The Mju-9000 is the world’s smallest and slimmest digital camera with 10x optical wide zoom as claimed by Olympus.

Main features of Olympus Mju-9000:

1. The 10x wide optical zoom has a zoom range equivalent to 28-280mm. It is ideal for any type of shooting from superb landscape to close-up portrait. The zoom range could be further extended by its 5x digital zoom.
2. The 12-megapixel sensor enables users to print images in poster size.
