The 9000 was introduced 5 years prior to the WB35F which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the 9000 grades against the WB35F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 9000 and Samsung WB35F. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus 9000 Gallery and Samsung WB35F Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Quite often, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 9000 and WB35F.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung WB35F to give more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged 9000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
