Introduction
First
announced in September last year, the 5 megapixel Olympus C-5060 Zoom
is currently the second most advanced compact camera in the
Olympus lineup, behind the 8 megapixel C-8080 Zoom. Probably
the main attraction of the Olympus C5060 is the 27-110mm lens, which opens up
wide-angle photography again in a marketplace dominated by
cameras with lenses that start at 35mm. The C5060 Zoom is
heavily based on the older C-5050 Zoom, but Olympus have added
a number of improvements, including that wide-angle lens,
a swivelling LCD screen and faster start-up and shutter-lag
times. With the Photokina 2004 show approaching and a shelf-life
of one year, can the Olympus C-5060 Zoom still cut it in the fast-moving
world of digital cameras? Read on to find out.
