Looking to upgrade from my Olympus c-3020z.
I've read a few reviews on this camera and it looks pretty good. It has all the features I want. Does anyone have any experience using this camera or reccomend an alternative? The other camera I was considering was the Canon G6.

i looked at one very closely last year when i was shopping. It's a very nice camera that produces spectacular images. However a couple things turned me off. the zoom range is kind of short (5x) and i'm not a fan of electronic zooms, they're much slower. I ended up getting a Konica-Minolta A2 (NOT the A200). I love it, it has a mechanizally linked zoom and every possible bell and whistle you could imagine. Still, the C-8080 was a close second because of the really nice image quality (which is probably becaue of the shorter zoom).
