DCResource Reviews Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | April 18, 2004 | 5 Comments

Olympus C-8080 Wide ZoomDCResource have just reviewed the new 8-megapixel Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom digital camera.

“The Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom is an 8 Megapixel camera that holds its own against the competition, despite having a lens that doesn’t have as much telephoto power as the competition. Image quality is very good, though expect the above average noise and purple fringing that have become hallmarks of 8MP cameras.”

The review is actually made by Dcresource, not Imaging Resource as the title and text claims.

Thank you for a comprehensive review.
Here in Malaysia none of the 8MP cameras are selling well except for Sony 828 on initial introduction. The Olympus E1 hardly sells at all. I am hoping for a price drop soon on Olympus C8080. All reviews of 8080 that I read have been positive except one from a magazine in England. But then its a film camera magazine.
