Review: The new eight megapixel Olympus C8080WZ squares off very nicely against its competition from Nikon, Canon, Minolta, and Sony because Olympus’ product development staff didn’t just affix an 8 mega pixel CCD to an on hand platform. They started ...

Pros: Very fast, reliable, and great quality.

Cons: In low light areas the auto focus take a bit longer than usual.

The Bottom Line: The best choice of point and shoot camera's out in the market that has the flexibility of manual settings.

Review: Three months after Olympus release the C-8080 (8 mega pixel) digital camera, I was drooling to get my hands on it. I decided to sell my Olympus C-4000 Zoom and buy the C-8080. I got this Camera online after I found the cheapest vendor on epinions.com ...

Pros: Lens, body, product, overall

Cons: Shutter lag, lens extension,

The Bottom Line: This rates well with all the digital cameras I have worked with - it is a leader in its class.

Review: I've been in this business of reviewing for some time but the Olympus Camedia c-8080 burst on me like a brilliant ray of sunshine. I had "dumbed down" - sold my Drebel with three lenses and an assortment of gimcracks and bought the 8080, solely on the ...

Pros: Long lasting battery life and crisp pictures with the wide zoom lens.

Cons: slow focusing (auto) during low-light setting.

The Bottom Line: Try it out at the camera store and talk to professionals about your need. This is perhaps the most affordable camera for an amateur enthusiast like myself.

Review: When I first consider getting a digital camera, I was afraid that it will be out-performed by the rapid movement in the digital technology. After months of research online and seeking advice from friends, I'd listed out 3 cameras of my choice. The ...

Pros: Fast operation,Rigid body, a pleasure to take GOOD pictures with, macro function very good.

Cons: Full Manual on CD only - menu is a bit inintuitive in places

The Bottom Line: this will be a classic camera in years to come. I wouldnt recommend to a friend because I want to be the only one who has it!

Review: Takes unbelievably good pictures! in some of the worse lighting too. To tell you how well its built..Behold "The Battery latch" It has a proper double latch system (one inside) which means battery doesnt force itself on the battery door. buttons ...

Pros: Results, size, feel, ease of use.

Cons: Fiddly conversion lenses. Time taken to write tiff and raw files to card.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone who is a keen amateur and does not require the versatility that interchangeable lenses will give.

Review: This camera replaced an old friend - a Canon A1 slr - and I was not holding out too much hope that it would give really satisfactory images. How wrong I was. This is a superb camera with first class results. Limitations exist with the size of print you ...

Cons: Too many buttons & features. Bad/Blurry pics in low light.

The Bottom Line: Beginners should take a photography course before purchasing this camera.

Pros: FAST startup, very little shutterlag in comparison, nice EVF, WIDE ANGLE, configurable, solid feel.

Cons: NOT a beginners camera! Buy a cheaper model if you only want family snapshots.

The Bottom Line: I love this camera! After WEEKS of reviewing it's rivals, I agree with the PROFESSIONAL reviewers that this is the camera by which all other prosumer cameras are measured!

Review: I have an Olympus c-3030zoom. I've used it for about 5 years now, I guess. I've really enjoyed the camera, but it's taken some knocks and I was yearning for something better. At first I thought I'd go with an extreme telephoto digital, but after thinking ...

Pros: Great build quality. Battery life is phenomenal. Outstanding photo quality.

Cons: Difficult to eject compact flash card. No manual focus ring. Too many features for most.

The Bottom Line: Has everything a camera should have (and more) for being just shy of a true digital SLR.

Review: This is my 2nd digital camera, and like most everything else, I spend months shopping around before I make a decision on a purchase. My previous camera was an Olympus C-50. While small and compact, I quickly outgrew its' limitations. For those of ...
