The Camedia C-8080 is a new design for an Olympus C-series camera, and one that is likely to win over many users. The magnesium alloy body is finished in a flecked black paint. The Camedia C-8080 makes an evolutionary leap from the previous top-end C-5060 model, upgrading specifications and importing elements from pro models such as the E-10 and E-20. The differences between the C-5060 WZ and the C-8080 WZ are even more significant, Olympus hasn't just reused an old body and lens and bolted in the new Sony 2/3" eight megapixel CCD, instead they have completely redesigned the body and approached the most important part of any digital camera, the lens, with an eye to quality. The C-8080 enters the eight megapixel fray which is currently made up of another four digital cameras: the Canon PowerShot Pro1, Sony DSC-F828, Nikon Coolpix 8700 and the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2.
