Both cars are nice - but make sure you're getting similar option packages. A basic corolla has way less stuff than a basic 4cyl camry. Therefore you must compare a corolla LE with a camry CE and a corolla XLE with a camry LE and probably a corolla SRX with a camry XLE (and even that isnt a fair comparison).
I would note there is a size difference also. Depending on if you're a single person, or a couple, or a family. I would use that to determine camry/corolla. Obviously the camry is slightly larger and has more trunk space. So if building a family in the next 5 years is something you are considering, probably smart to buy the camry.
That being said, the corolla gets about 5mpg better highway/city milage. If you're on a tight budget and you worry that gas prices are going to increase, I would stick with the more efficient vehicle.
Currently I have 2 friends that own 2009 Corolla CE/LE and both are very happy with their purcheses. Since both are toyota's I would almost guarantee they have top notch reliability and will drive for 15+ years. My 1996 camry has 270,000miles on it and I still use it as my daily driver.
9000 miles is nothing in the grad scheme of things. The car is practically new.
If I was in your spot, I would probably not get a CE camry. However, if an LE camry or XLE camry was the same price as a new corolla, I think I'd be foolish not to get the bigger "better" car. Plus new cars tend to have higher insurance.
