Hello,

I have narrowed down the choice of digital cameras to:

Olympus C5050 or C6060

I think the c5050 is no longer available, which one replaces it ?

or

Canon: G3, G5,  S50, S60 or A80

I want a good camera for travelling and also good in poor light conditions.

I also want it to have as optional an underwater case when I go diving.

And if possible external flash attachment.

Which of the above cameras you recommend me ?

Any other brand or model you recommend me ?

Thanks,

Mario

C5060 is direct replacement for the C5050 (which I own).

Differences between C5050 and C5060:

C5060 saves pictures to memory faster thus less shutter 'lag'
C5060 has a 4x rather than 3x zoom lens
PT020 housing for C5060 has replaceable lens port with wide-angle optional
port.
PT020 housing has TTL flash connector.

Look at

Or better still, why not go for the C8080 which has a 5x zoom and is 8 Mega
pixel!
