The E80 expanded features mainly regarding operability and availability. Employing for the first time an ergonomically designed rotating grip with the viewfinder built into it, the E80 gave users a secure hold without overloading the wrist, even during high or low-angle shots. The E80 improved operability for shooting children, where the best lens position is at their eye level.
