Olympus EVOLT E-330 Digital Camera Review

The Olympus EVOLT E-330 is the world’s first interchangeable lens digital SLR to offer a “Live View” image on the LCD screen, in addition to the optical viewfinder. The design of a normal DSLR camera is such that the mirror remains down, blocking the image sensor, until the moment of exposure. This does not allow for the use of the LCD for framing as it has nothing to display. Olympus took the unique design of their E-300 and went a step farther including a preview CCD imager in its optical viewfinder. In addition, the E-330’s LCD is “articulated” it can extend out from the camera body and swivel downward or upward so the camera can be held overhead to shoot over a crowd, or held at the hip or even placed on the ground – something that’s not possible with a traditional SLR.
