Olympus's 8MP prosumer flagship of 2004 — 28-140mm f/2.4-3.5 zoom, 2/3-inch CCD, EVF, CF and xD twin slots

The Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom was the flagship of the Camedia C-series when it launched in 2004, an eight-megapixel prosumer bridge camera aimed at the high-end consumer market. It arrived during the short-lived 8MP 2/3-inch CCD class alongside rivals such as the Canon PowerShot Pro1 and Sony DSC-F828.

It used a 2/3-inch 8-megapixel CCD behind a 28-140mm-equivalent f/2.4-3.5 zoom built from 14 elements including three ED glass and two aspherical elements. Framing was via a 240k-dot electronic viewfinder or a 1.8-inch 134k-dot LCD that pulls away from the body and tilts. Storage was unusually flexible, with twin slots for CompactFlash and xD-Picture Card, and transfer used USB 2.0.

The C-8080 suits photographers who want full manual control and a bright wide-angle zoom in one sealed-lens package. The 28mm wide end was rare in its class and favours landscape and interior work, while the f/2.4-3.5 lens helps in lower light. It is a large, heavy compact by modern standards and start-up at telephoto was slow, but image quality from the big-for-a-compact CCD earned strong reviews.

On the used market check both card slots read reliably, and remember CompactFlash is easier to source today than xD. Confirm the proprietary battery still holds charge and a charger is included, inspect the tilting LCD ribbon and EVF for faults, and test the zoom and focus motors through the range. As with other early-2000s CCD compacts, sensor age makes dead-pixel checks worthwhile.
