The Olympus E-330 DSLR is the first digital single lens reflex camera to have both a through-the-lens viewfinder and a ?live? view on an LCD screen. The camera has a 7.5 megapixel sensor and uses the Olympus 4/3 system which presently is unique but wi...
The E-330 has a good on-camera flash. Illumination is even and natural even close up. Because the flash pops up high above the body red-eye is not usually a problem. As we expect from Olympus the camera has a nice feel with all controls and mechanical...
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...
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 l...

Excellent image quality. Live image previews on bright, 2.5-inch, tilting LCD. The 14-45mm lens is a gem.
Sluggish manual focus. Menus can be confusing. Images somewhat soft at ISO 1600.

If at a glance the Olympus Evolt E-330 resembles the E-300, it is in fact a very different camera. The E-330 is a digital reflex camera equipped with a unique viewfinder system, and one that offers a 7.5 megapixel resolution using a Four-Thirds CCD. T...

Very small viewfinder and darker (difficult to see fine detail, difficult to check focus), Recommended sensitivity ISO 100 - 400, images at ISO 800 usable, ISO 1600 not really, Poor noise reduction algorithm, blurs the image too heavily at ISO 1600, alway...
