I say that because I still own a 4MP C-750 and the C-8080 (purchased 2004 and 2005 respectively). The Original Olympus AAA batteries for the C-750 still charge up and work....and the 2xBLM-1 ...

D'oh!! That was the only slider I didn't try! :-) Thanks - that's sorted that out. Great to see you still active in these forums. I'm only an occasional participant these days - but I have been ...

Olympus Workspace offer trapezoidal and parallelogram correction + Keystone compensation - but not barrel/fisheye correction. I'm re-processing some of my older wide angle photos from a C-8080 and ...

erm....I still use my 4MP and 8MP cameras from 2004 and 2006 - in 2020! Surprised??

I don't know if mechanical is better...but Imagine a scenario where you never have to worry about the battery running out....or the LCD screen cracking, or the camera not recognising the lens...

Olympus C-8080.

I purchased the huge, brick-like C-8080 it in early 2005 - and loved it straight away. THAT lens was astonishing at resolving detail. The supermacro mode was to die for, the...

Up until 2007, I STILL used my Casio fx-80 calculator (purchased in 1985). That's 22 years of loyal near-daily service.

I wonder if Chris realised he came within a hair's breadth of being mauled by a savage lagomorph at 13:50? Must have been stalking him all day before deciding to pounce.

Ouch! That was painful to watch - even knowing the lenses were broken.

Psst - I'm one of those ignoramuses who sprayed on the glass rather than the cloth. Now I know better :-))

I remember GeForce - Mark, Tiny, Keyop, Princess & Jason.

Impressive high ISO performance and overall features set for the price.

Speaking of organising photos (and perhaps culling a few) - I wonder if Dpreview could see their way to changing that "we're hiring" Astronaut picture on the top right hand side of the home page....

Thank you DP - always, always look on the bright side: you might need to isolate yourself from people for a while - but that just means you can get up close and personal to all your cameras! You...

@Gannon Burgett: ensure

...just because those happened to be the first two cameras that I owned by myself.

This could open up a whole new can (jar) of worms. My favourite explorer during the age of sail was Magellan...or is it Majellan...? Any Portuguese speakers here?

@John Bean - I travelled a lot around mainland Europe in the 1990's - and pretty much everywhere it was called "cif" - so I guess Unilever got tired of printing one label with the "J" just for the...

I thought this was settled a few years back - we're supposed to call it "cif"
