Olympus C-8080 Pro Reviews

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

When I first set eyes on it, the C-8080 Wide Zoom's large lens and chunky body made it seem a little bulky and ungainly. Once I began shooting with it though, any such impression quickly departed, and I learned to love the corner to corner sharpness and wide aperture that the large lens afforded.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

I was really looking forward to reviewing the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom because I had enjoyed using the C-5050 Zoom so much last year. It's great to see that Olympus have carried on where the C-5050 left off in terms of design and ease-of-use - the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom is a fantastic tool for the aspiring amateur photographer, with an extensive range of features that are mostly accessed via external controls on the camera body

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

With a high resolution 8-megapixel imager, a fast F2.4 5x zoom lens with wide field of view, an all-magnesium body, a choice of media (xD or CF memory cards or Microdrives), exposure options galore and robust image processing - this camera is sure to satisfy even the most demanding of users.

DP Review‘s review Edit

My first impression of the C-8080 Wide Zoom was, "at last a prosumer camera that feels as though it is worth its price tag". The C-8080 is built to a higher standard than any of the other eight megapixel digital cameras (save maybe the Sony DSC-F828), with a thick, high grade metal body simple rubber coating and innovative yet unfussy control layout.
