We have decided on the C-8080 camera. Now we have to make decisions on all the accessories. We see that buydig.com sells the BLM-1 lithium battery made by Sakar for $59.00 and by Olympus for $89.00. Are these the very same batteries? Or should I be sticking with the Olympus brand?

Thanks!

Usually most of the time its just the label, I would guess that any battery would work fine. If it works in your camera, head for the cheaper product!
