Olympus VG-160 with Olympus Stylus 9000 Overview


Let's compare Stylus 9000 with VG-160. Both cameras produced Olympus. These models are included in the Small Sensor Compact cameras. Olympus 9000 was released in 2009, and Olympus VG-160 in 2012. VG-160 is newer, which is a plus. Stylus 9000 3 years older.
The sensor resolution of Stylus 9000 is greater than that of VG-160. However, the difference of 2 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (VG-160), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. Stylus 9000 has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), VG-160 doesn’t, it is a big minus. Olympus VG-160 has a larger 3-inch Fixed screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
