A year after releasing the µ9000, Olympus has updated its superzoom compact. The µ9010 has the same lens as its predecessor but now has a 14-Megapixel sensor, SD-card compatibility, an HD video mode and almost 2 GB of built-in memory.

With competition getting tougher and tougher in this particular product sector, it looks like Olympus has tried to bring its model it in line with new market standards, hoping to rival star products like the Panasonic TZ and Canon SX ranges, as well as heavyweight newcomers such as the Samsung WB6x0 and Sony HX5.
