The new 5.1-megapixel Olympus Camedia C-5060 camera ($700 street) gives wide-angle shooters something to cheer about. In spite of the huge variety of digital cameras on the market, relatively few offer true wide-angle coverage without the use of bulky add-on lenses.
The C-5060 body design is almost identical to that of its predecessor, the C-5050, which will remain in production. The C-5060's 4X zoom lens covers an effective 27 to 110 mm (35-mm camera equivalent) versus the C-5050's more modest 35- to 105-mm film-equivalent lens. The wide-angle capabilities make the C-5060 ideal for taking building interiors, scenic shots, and panoramas, but low-light shooters may prefer the C-5050.
