  Olympus' EVOLT E-330; Full-Time “Live View” In A Digital SLR Camera
  By Peter K. Burian
  
  Review summary: The Olympus EVOLT E-330 is the first interchangeable lens digital SLR with a true, full-time Live View feature. Framing a shot with the E-330 is just as convenient as it is with a compact digital camera. You can preview the subject in full color on a ...

  Cons: We subjected the E-330 to our usual image acid test -- our friendly rainbow lorikeets in the garden -- and we were surprised to see how badly the camera handles saturated reds. Colour bleeding in the red/orange areas on the birds' chests was so bad ...
  
  Verdict: The joy of using a single lens reflex camera is in the through-the-lens previewing of the image. The bigger and brighter the viewfinder the better. So anyone considering the E-330 should take time to check the small, dark viewfinder to see if you can ...

  Olympus E-330
  By Andrew Kliem
  
  Pros: Live Review, Dust Reduction
  
  Cons: Costly for what you get, Images a little disappointing, Problems with live review mode
  
  Verdict: While the E330 is a fairy good camera in its own right you are essentially paying $500 for live review, which isn't all that great, and lower image quality.
