unicorn is on a distinguished road
I have been thinking of a Olympus 8080 too.

Shooting RAW is the way to go and then it is supported by Vuescan which is good. What that I found bad is that after a few frames in RAW the camera locks for some minute before it has done it's things.
I also had some problems with controlling the zoom - it went to fast and it was hard to make it stop at the desired focal length.
Then again it has some significant benefits when comparing it to the other 8 MP cameras out there - a good lens and also an overall good picture quality. Not bad.

As I see it the choice isn't that easy. The Minolta f eks has a lot of bells and whistles and among them the real good anti shake feature. Drawback: a poor built quality and a less than average lens. Thankfully, as that was what made me hesitate.

I'll get back here with my findings.
