Point by point comparison
As we shall see later, the Olympus C-8080 is both exciting and exasperating. Its images are absolutely superb (probably the best available among the prosumer digicams), but it has flaws that spoil it all, such as the strange way its modes and functions combine the amateur with the extremely professional, not to mention the rather puzzling navigation system. But still, the C-8080 is a very persuasive camera that will have to be reckoned with.
