Olymus Camedia C-7070

[Laowai]

I wonder why nobody started a thread about this gem of camera earlier. I just love to take pictures with it and carry it always along with my Voigtlander Bessa 4A. The results are on-spot shots, sharp and with lively colours. I hardly use the built-in screen, most of the times the smalll, but bright finder it just good enough. And this thing is build like a tank, something you don't find in digital rangerfinders anymore. On top of that you can shoot RAW and use 2 flash cards. No wonder that the C-7070 is hard to find 2nd hand and still fetches high prices, although is has been discontinued for 2 years now.

Does anyone else use it?

Getting rid of it!
Getting rid of it to move to DSLR.

Incredible lens, Great reviews.

The good news was I had it almost two years and sold if for what I paid for it. I can honestly say for general photography needs, it was better than the 2 DSLR's I've had since, primarily in terms of complexity.

It's a little easier to find, as the 7070 was a short run.
