Olympus Camedia C-8080 Wide Zoom Digital Camera

Eight Megapixels of Excellence!

Three months after Olympus release the C-8080 (8 megapixel) 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 and saved about a hundred dollars on the total price. I thought that was a good deal, but a couple months later I found out that I would have saved even more if I had just waited. Nowadays, I am interested in the Canon Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D Digital Camera. I am still not sure if I should buy it or wait for the next model (please let me know which one I should get and which not to get).


THE PACKAGE :
32 MB Olympus xD Picture Card
Olympus BLM-1 Lithium-Ion battery
Olympus BCM-2 battery charger
Infrared Remote Control
Lens cap & keeper strap
Lens hood, Shoulder strap
USB/AV cables
Software CD-ROM
Users Manual


VIEWFINDER AND LCD :
The C-8080 has an electronic viewfinder (EVF) which has the same view as the LCD screen. The view finder helps you see what you want clearly when in a very bright or very dark environments. The refresh rate for the EVF is 60 frames per second, which is very good. It also has diopter correction for people who wear eyeglasses. I use the EVF often when I go outside to take pictures of nature during the day. When the sun is shining bright during the day, the LCD will not show you the clearest picture, so it is best to switch to the EVF.

The LCD, on the other hand, is 1.8” TFT and it is bright and clear even in some bright environments. The most important feature I like about the LCD is its ability to flip up and tilt down. With this feature I can take the camera as low or as high as I want without having to go higher or lower with the camera. The LCD can tilt down 45 degrees and tilt up 90 degrees; that is a lot of flexibility anyone will be happy with. This is one of the reasons I purchased this camera.


POWER :
The C-8080 is powered by the BLM1 Lithium-Ion battery pack. This is a rechargeable battery pack that provides about 300 to 400 pictures before having to charge it again. The BCM-2 charger that is included in the package, can charge the battery fully in about 4 to 6 hours. I did not buy an extra battery pack because the original battery can last a very long time before it needs recharging.
