Dpreview Previews Olympus E-330 Digital SLR
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 PM
"On January 26th 2006 over a year since the introduction of the E-300 Olympus revealed the 7.5 million pixel 'live view' successor, the E-330. The E-330's biggest differentiator to any other digital SLR is its capability to deliver a live view on the LCD monitor (in the same manner as a prosumer / consumer all-in-one digital camera). For those new to digital SLR's this is difficult to achieve because of the mirror / shutter mechanism, the mirror is in the light path in view mode to provide an image to the viewfinder, this means that no image can be projected onto the main sensor. Additionally most large D-SLR sensor don't have video out capability. Other changes over the E-300 include a flip-out LCD screen and a range of feature improvements inherited from the E-500."
There have been quite a few E-series SLRs from Olympus lately. My favorite feature is that by incorporating the Supersonic Wave Filter, the problem of dust entering the camera body and landing on the image sensor while changing lenses is completely eradicated. Have any of you tried any of the Olympus series?
