3.3The Olympus EVOLT E-330 introduces a live-preview LCD to the DSLR market, adding a feature that is universal on entry-level cameras to a much more capable and complex machine. The 7.5 effective megapixel EVOLT E-330 has Olympus's gaggle of unusual features – dust removal, 4/3 format, brick-house durability (and appearance), and hugely long menus. Still, the marquee feature is the live display. At $1100, the EVOLT E-330 costs hundreds more than other entry-level DSLRs. The only justification for a price differential like that will have to be the live preview. We're intrigued by it, and we imagine many people want it – but how many need it?
