Luminous Landscape Reviews Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom

Olympus C-8080 Wide ZoomLuminous Landscape is the first website that I know of to review the new 8-megapixel Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom digital camera. Unfortunately it doesn’t impress Michael Reichmann…

“Like the Sony F828 the Olympus C-8080 is able to shoot in RAW mode. But as with the Sony this mode is almost unusable because the camera takes forever (actually about 20 seconds ? a bit slower than the Sony) to write a RAW file to disk. During this time the camera is unusable. Sorry Olympus and Sony ? that’s not the way I do photography. Shooting Degeurotypes is faster. Spend a few more dollars and put in a bit more buffer memory and also a microprocessor that’s able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Totally frustrating!”
