Olympus SLR Offers Live-View LCD
The new Olympus EVolt E-330 is the first digital SLR with interchangeable lenses to do something point-and-shoot cameras have done for years: Offer a live view on its LCD.The camera (shown below) has two sensors, and you can view the image from either one. While viewing what's on the capture sensor, you can enlarge the image by 10X to see fine details.
The LCD swivels outward (see photo), and you can angle it to make overhead shots or dramatic low angles easier to frame. The EVolt E-330 will sell for $1100 with a 14-45mm lens.
Is this a feature that will convince you to pull the trigger on a digital SLR?

Actually, the Olympus E-10 and E-20 DSLR cameras which were available around five years ago already offered the live view LCD, though the image quality for the live view wasn't too good. But anyway, the E-330 is not the first DSLR to offer the live view LCD.
