olympus stylus 9000: How does the low light pictures compare to the fuji finepix f100fd?

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.

I have been more than pleased with the image quality of the LF1. I have not seen the images you are evaluating. Check out Gordon Liam & Camera Labs for his review and serious sample photos.

No this camera do not work well in low light. If you need it to make good pictures it wont work for you. I bought this tablet about a month and is fast for what I use it, mail, read books, videos. I recommend it but not for the cameras.

Any photos developed yet? My one concern is low light photographs...Just wondering about quality and ease of use. How easy are the automatic features to use?

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!

Check out DPReview's First Impressions Review of the Olympus Stylus 1. While the review is not a direct comparison, the RX10 is mentioned and compared numerous times. The main and most important differences between the two cameras is the size of the sensor, and the price. The DPRevew evaluation of the Stylus 1 is quite comprehensive and will help you make an informed choice.

Not quite sure of your question on "better", but I will try to answer. This is not a high end DSLR, but it holds its own in action shooting with excellent clarity. As for limited/low light shooting, I was amazed in what it does without the flash. I have been using a Sony compact disc camera with optional with a fish eye lens for several years taking low light pictures . I most often had to use some form of lighting to get a good shot. The fish eye lens interfered with the flash causing major shadowing. The SZ+31, under the same limited light, gives excellent wide angle pictures WITHOUT a flash and little need to touch-up. We also have a mid-level Canon DSLR that was supposed to replace the Sony. The SZ-31 actually has more features with less bulk and is very user friendly. We are using the SZ-31 infinitely more than the other two. Here is the best clue: My wife does not take well to ANY gadget---until we bought the SZ-31. She loves this thing and so do I.

http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_coolpix_p520_review/image_quality/I havent tried the Nikon but this Sony is pretty good in low light video , no zoom noise ,its pretty quiet . But I believe for big portraits, full fledge photographers wont recomment this Sony model but I wont be blowing up pictures with this camera.The Fz200 is a panasonic model has a shutter speed of 15 seconds while Nikon is 8 seconds, so I would say Nikon is better but Sony has 4 seconds shutter speed , so for night photgraphy Sony is the best in the group .

I have had this camera P7800 only a few months but I find it to be extremely good in low light. I have been able to greatly enlarge dark areas of pictures and still keep very good sharpness. Right now I do not own a recent SLR (because of SLR weight in the conditions I mostly take pictures) so I cannot compare P7800 with an SLR, but an SLR would certainly beat it. It is also very sharp on closeups. I do not know the S9300.

I do not agree with your statement about the RX100 having poor low light performance. I have no problem in this area. This camera has replaced my camcorder for shooting in concerts and drama performances. Having manual control and clear zoom during video is very nice.

I don't have the 100 or the 300. My last one was the 500HS. It is smaller now and lighter. The night picture without the flash are all nice. I took lots of them during the Holiday lights event, and they all very clear. Also it has anti shaking mode, it snaps and processing very quick so much less blurry when moving. I think that is a major difference for this camera. Battery life is very short that is the only draw back to me. I like it overal all but be sure to get extra battery.

SD series is more for the "point and shoot" crowd whereas the Sxx series offers more exposure adjustability for better creative control. The Sxx series also generally has larger image sensors which creates more interpixel spacing which reduces light bleeding between pixels thus reducing noise. (The "larger" reference is in reference to physical size of the sensor not pixel count.) As for whether the S90 takes better/clearer pictures the answer is most likely yes but how much better is going to be based on the situation. In low light situations the answer is a definite yes as the S90 has an f2.0 aperature which allows twice as much light as the f2.8 of the SD1200. This combined with the larger sensor will allow the S90 to take better low light pictures. Some other differences favoring the S90 are the 28mm wide angle lens and flash range. The 28mm lens captures an image roughly 25% wider than the 35mm lens on the SD1200. Flash distance increases from 14 to 21 feet at wide angle setting. The downside of the S90 is size. It is considerably larger and heavier than the SD1200. As for the reddish tones, this is a function of Canon cameras. It can be minimized however through proper use of the white balance/lighting type settings in the camera. I hope this helps. (note: Sxx refers to the S10 through S90 series not the S100 through S500 series which were point and shoot models.)

My experience is that the W50 is not a great low-light camera because of the size of the glass. The marketing is TECHNICALLY correct; low-light shots don't have as much noise as they might otherwise have. But low-light shots are also not very bright! You'll need the flash pretty often indoors. The good news is that the flash is pretty natural-looking. I've been happy with how well it exposes with the flash. I generally use the reduce flash (FLASH -) setting.

I wholly agree with the FZ 150 camera assessments on this forum. I have been shooting with a Nikon D90 and an Olympus EPL-2. Two months ago I got this Panasonic and sold the EPL-2 because it is basically a smaller and lighter version of the APS-C SLRs. Whereas the FZ150 is not only packed with features and produces great but not professional images, it does have a built-in zoom and that's what I wanted outside of an SLR. After using it on my Beijing vacation for the past 8 days averaging about 200 images a day, the one wish list I have is for an extended battery grip. This camera is so useful it is with me all the time, so the grip will play a big part in ergonomic comfort where portraits and the handling will be easier. As is, I do find the camera grip to be too small for comfort. Obviously this is my personal opinion since outside of SLR's this thing is not physically small relatively speaking. If anyone knows of such a grip, please share. Finally though sometimes I really do miss the high quality images only an SLR could achieve with the right fast lens. When I hiked 2 hours up, and then 2 hours down, the Great Wall of China, I did not miss the extra weight a bit. :)

IMO this is a great street camera between the f1.8 lens, the tilt viewfinder for shooting from the waist and it's small size compared to a DLSR. There is a little noise at 1600 but the fast lens make pushing your ISO past that rarely needed. While the camera is solid the lens is what makes it great.

The main difference appears to be the aperture. The f/2.8 will work better in lower light giving you at least an extra stop of light to play with. This means shorter exposures in lower light than the f/4-5.6.

If you like shooting in near darkness with no light, the 2.8 is for you. The other, which I have and use in low-light is marvelous. That ability coupled with the camera's keen excellence in auto program yields beautiful photos. Frankly, I hate shooting in the dark.
