The C-800L was the top of the line in 1996 and had an incredible 6MB of internal memory, TTL autofocus system, optical and LCD viewfinder and automatic playback of recorded images. For Olympus it was important that these cameras looked exactly like 35mm cameras and thus gave the user a familiar experience.
