Olympus E-330 - world’s first digital SLR with continuous live view

[Bob Crabtree]

Olympus E-330 - due March at around £900

The Olympus E-330 is the world’s first digital SLR camera to feature a continuous live view directly on its LCD screen, freeing photographers from having to peer though the viewfinder and allowing them to be more aware of what’s going on around them whilst they shoot.

Because the big, 2.5in/6.4cm multi-angle LCD screen on the E-330 can be tilted and swivelled into virtually any position, this freedom even extends to framing difficult shots, as the photographer can set it at the precise angle needed to get the best view – even if shooting over the top of a crowd or from ground level.
