Hello,

HD3030pro was initially designed to be used with cp950, 990, 995 and 4500. The quality is excellent and at only 1/3 price (as in Hong Kong) of FC-E8. In fact I read the user sample photos and reviews in Taiwan DC forum before I acquire one for my A80. Here's the link for the cp4500 + HD3030pro photos:

FC-E8 covers almost over 180 degree of view and it is more than HD3030pro can do, but I could tell you very often you don't need it (unless you want to shoot your own feet too! :-)). And it is interesting to find that the FC-E8 has blurry photo edge for near to medium distance scenery while HD3030pro is sharp to the edge with objects farther than 4meters away.
