I believe both are considered "advanced" digicams and can save in RAW
mode, etc.
I did consider an E-20. I'm looking for a "pocketable" camera,
something even easier to carry than an OM-2S with a pancake zoom (if
there were such a thing). So the E-20 is a little big for my purposes.
The C-5060 looks about right, though the C-8080 is amazingly small too.
