Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-3010 is significantly lighter (117g ) than the Olympus 9000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FE-3010 has a big advantage over the 9000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus FE-3010 and Olympus 9000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
