Loocking for Olympus C7070 or C8080

Good choice if you can get one. These are two excellent cameras that were cut off in their prime by one of those inexplicable marketing decisions that plagues the camera business. And anybody who's got one of these (such as myself) is very unlikely to part with it.

Plump for the 8080 if you can. I've had both - they are both excellent, but the 7070 has some connectivity issues with Olympus digital flashes when in bounce mode. That's the reason I sold mine and got the 8080 - very frustrating. Good luck...they still turn up on Fleabay (in the UK at least).

I had the C7070-WZ and the fisheye with 3x telephoto from Olympus. Sold everything a couple of months ago.

 

C7070-WZ was a good camera. It was bulky, well built and it was expensive to manufacture. Hence Olympus discontinued both of them as it no longer could compete with low end DSLRs and advance compact cameras. The design of both cameras outlived itself, I think it was a right decision on Olympus's part.
