Olympus EVOLT E-330

First Impressions Review

Physical Tour

The Olympus EVOLT E330, along with the Panasonic DMC-L1, provides a jolt to the Four Thirds DSLR format, announced in 2002 as a format optimized for digital photography. The Four Thirds cameras introduced before the E-330 and L1 didn't really differentiate themselves from more typical DSLRs through image quality or usability, but the E-330 and the L1 add live preview – a fundamentally new feature for DSLRs.

With 7.94 megapixels on a first-to-market "NMOS" imaging chip, automatic dust protection and a range of metering, exposure and control options, the EVOLT E-330 has a long list of unique or unusual features beyond its live preview function. At $1099 with a 14-45mm lens, the E-330 is poised to attract new DSLR users who are looking for a more capable camera than the other sub-$1000 offerings.

With identical imaging chips and very similar viewing systems, the E-330 and the L1 still manage to be different enough to be considered truly separate models: the L1 features a fast Leica zoom with optical image stabilization, while the EVOLT E-330 features a tilting LCD to capitalize on the live electronic preview. The E-330's other advantage: it's shipping, while the L1 is still in preproduction.

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
