Olympus has a new comera on the market. The E-330 is the first DSLR to have “Live View”, which in short is what the P&S digital cameras have had all along. DPreview have one of the first full reveiws of the camera. and over at engadget they also have a quick little write up about it.

I will not attempt to give a review of it here, for one, I have never seen the camera in real life, and secondly, there is already a great review at DPreview. I will however give my opinion on the camera.

First up, the Live View is obviously the main feature that everyone will be talking about with this camera. I realy dont think that there is really any use for it. Sure it might make the P&S users happy, they can now say that they have a DSLR, but are they really going to know how to use all the advanced features of a DSLR and make the most of it?

There are always pros and cons for everything, but I dont think that this will be as good as everyone hopes. And I hope that canon dont follow and start adding live view to their DSLR’s.

-Hurgh-
