Inspite of my critisism of it. A couple weeks ago my son-in-law, who is a professional photographer doing mostly wedding shots for a living, had us over at his house for dinner. I had brought my new Olympus 8080 with me for him to look at and tinker with. He seemed very impressed with it's 'feel' and 'speed' (which I was critical of, by the way). Today we were invited over for Mother's Day Brunch. He said to me,'Guess what I bought a new camera, -it's an Olympus C-8080 Wide Angle Zoom'. So I asked him, 'what did you do with your other cameras?', which was a Canon G3 and a Canon EDS10. 'Oh, I sold them off on e-bay'. How come?, I asked. The G3 had too much wide-angle barrel distortion and the EDS 10 was too bulky. I really liked the small compact size of the Olympus and it's 'feel' and the wide angle lens seems the best on the market'. Apparently dpsreview agrees with him, or he read dpsreview.
