olympus stylus 9000 How does the low light pictures compare to the fuji finepix f100fd? Does the Olympus Stylus 9000 Zoom function work while in the movie mode?..

I'm deciding between this camera and Canon's new PowerShot 12.1MP w/ 4x zoom. Opinions, anyone?

I dont own a fuji finepix, but I can say that No the Stylus 9000 zoom function does not work while in movie mode. Once you pick a particular zoom and start recording your stuck with it until you stop recording.

wrong......there is option for zoom in movie mode but it is the digital zoom so not as sharp but it does work.

I believe the 900f is for the flip out screen, great camera for the price, so many options every time I look at it I find another fiture the camera can do.

Hmm...I have the same problem with my Olympus. Would the "sports mode" make any difference? Can flash be used in that mode? --Zach Kaplan

Hello, On EXR and Auto mode I've found my images in low light to be sub par without using the flash - which then can unfortunately cause it's own set of problems. However, as I learn the camera I find adjusting the settings and really depending on the manual as a reference guide, along with youtube tutorial videos that my low and dim light photos are improving. I'm an Amateur at this stage of course but more advanced photographers would have an effortless time taking great shots in low light conditions. If you're shopping around check out the Panasonic FZ200 and the Sony DDSC-HX300 both have won tremendous accolades for low light performance. Hope this helps!

Yes, the 890IS can zoom while filming, no problem. It's quite amazing actually - in a quiet environment, you can hear motor when you zoom, but the motor noise isn't audible in the recorded movie. Unfortunately, you do hear the sound of the zoom control lever, which leaves an audible click each time you move or release it. The still camera is a 5.0x optical zoom, but for some reason, the zoom range when recording movies is only indicated as 4.0x. The quality of the video clips looks really good but the colors seem overly vivid vs still modes. I don't know if this is a byproduct of the avi compression or perhaps I don't have the setting right yet. I've had the camera for 2 weeks and not had a chance to dig in really deep yet.

Are you kidding? Who do you know that has purchased BOTH??? All I can say is that the 9000F2 does a great job on picture scanning - I've scanned lots. The trick is to position 4-6 photos on the platen, then set the Scan & Preview resolutions the same. Then you can choose each photo and save it without having to rescan between each save.

I have had amazing results in low light, back light, and practically no light conditions. The auto and advanced auto flash settings are great, and with flash turned off in low light conditions, the picture still shows up in focus with plenty of detail.

Just a quick note that the D90 does allow zooming while recording... their lenses all have manual zooms, just rotate the ring... Also, it has AMAZING low light capabilities -- deep blacks, no noise, bright colors, incredible dynamic range. The gripes are: 24fsp can look choppy when panning, no AF (but you can still MF, which works well for me), the image will brighten/darken in subtle steps as the electronic metering adjusts settings, which is only obvious in very slow panning/zooming situations against a plain backdrop.

While both of these are so called "bridge" cameras the Olympus SP-100 has one huge advantage over *all* other cameras in the class including the Fuji FinePix S1. The Dot Sight. At high zooms it is very difficult to frame the subject with any other camera. This can be very very frustrating. The Dot Sight eliminates that frustration. Once you are familiar with it you just put the illuminated reticle on the subject while keeping both eyes open. This makes tracking moving subjects very easy and intuitive. I just works better than any other camera. Otherwise the photos and everything else are pretty equal across the entire class.

Yes, I have been very impressed with the low light pictures. The only complaint I have is you can't force the flash on in auto if you want some fill in light. However, you can force the flash on in other modes.

I think it's time from start is about standard, I am trying to find something simular out about this camera as well. I do know the FujiFilm S8100fd is simular in price and features and has some real nice fast picture modes where it will take pictures extremely fast but at the faster settings it takes them at less MP (5MP is really fast though) and it will take full res at around 1 second each. Hope that helps.

I only use the fast f 1.4 setting when the light level is low. In this case the fast lens is very useful. I can take nice, natural pictures without using a flash. In bright sun I use a much higher f stop such as f 11 or f 16. I have no problems taking nicely exposed pictures in bright sunlight. If you put the camera on the "Smart" setting it will control the exposure automatically. I am very satisfied with the EX2F camera. JDS

The bigger the sensor, the faster the lens, the better a camera's low light capabilities. This camera, for example cannot compare with the Sony A7S or most other full frame (large sensor) cameras. But for its size and price, this camera has no equal - you'll be surprised how good it is. I've taken very good pictures in low light with no flash, and even better ones with flash. It's the perfect camera to carry at all times. I highly recommend it.

The Stylus 9000 has an adapter for MICRO SDHC cards. These are diffent from regular SDHC cards which are much bigger in size. SDHC cards do not work in the Stylus 9000, or any other Olympus camera for that matter. I use an 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 card in mine. I've never used a 16 GB Micro SDHC Card but the manual says it will work so I have no reason to disbelive that.

For low light it will do for sure. I do beluce for sone action too, but not to much. Photographing groups pf friend together i had no problems lime "phantons" ir shades of people moving. It is not a pro camera but a long step from regular ines. If you know how to operate in manual yoy will be able to do it.My experience is only on automatic mode.

Ir works great on my Lumix LX7 but don't know anything about the Stylus. There is an electrical connector that the LVF2 has to connect to for power so I kind of doubt it (unless there is a standard for such things....)
