The new eight megapixel Olympus C8080WZ squares off very nicely against its competition from Nikon, Canon, Minolta, and Sony because Olympus' product development staff didn't just affix an 8 mega pixel CCD to an on hand platform.

Three months after Olympus release the C-8080 (8 mega pixel) digital camera, I was drooling to get my hands on it. I decided to sell my Olympus C-4000 Zoom and buy the C-8080.

Over the last couple of years Nikon has been losing market share to other manufacturers, but that negative sales trend may be due to change.

Let me state right away that I am not a camera professional or claim to be a techno guru. Far from it, I am a new mom who wanted to take loads of photos and share with family on the web.
