The E-330, is the first digital SLR to offer the comfort and flexibility of continuous live views directly on the LCD. This ground-breaking
innovation enables framing of shots without the need to look through the viewfinder. Additionally, thanks to a tilting, multi-angle LCD
measuring a large 2.5�/ 6.4cm, the Olympus E-330 extends versatility even further. It makes capturing shots from unusual angles,
such as in crowds or during macro photo sessions effortless. The 7.5 million live MOS sensor, a fast sequence speed of 3 fps, the
professional AEL and bracketing function and last but not least the dust reduction system for carefree shooting makes this camera a
perfect working tool for ambitious photographers.
