Olympus 9000 vs Panasonic 3D1

Below, we are comparing the Olympus 9000 versus Panasonic 3D1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by brands Olympus and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the 9000 (12MP) and the 3D1 (12MP) is fairly similar and they use the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The 9000 was revealed 3 years earlier than the 3D1 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving through a more detailed comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the 9000 grades against the 3D1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Stylus 9000 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1. The full galleries are available at Olympus 9000 Gallery and Panasonic 3D1 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Olympus 9000 features outside dimensions of 96mm x 60mm x 31mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 1.2") and a weight of 225 grams (0.50 lbs) whilst the Panasonic 3D1 has measurements of 108mm x 58mm x 24mm (4.3" x 2.3" x 0.9") having a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use at that moment. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the 9000 against the 3D1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 9000 and 3D1 is 92 and 93 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The pic underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 9000 and 3D1.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the identical megapixels therefore you should expect similar quality of photographs although you may want to consider the release date of the products into consideration. The more aged 9000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
