Very good

7.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Lori Grunin
Review date: 02/23/06

The good: Can preview shots on LCD; large LCD; very solidly built; strong photo quality.

The bad: Takes a while to figure out some of the features; kit lens is slow.

The bottom line: The Olympus Evolt E-330 is a very good midrange dSLR with unique live scene viewing on its large LCD.

Kodak used two sensors in its EasyShare V570 to enable its ultrawide second lens. Olympus puts a second sensor to better use with its Evolt E-330: to provide its digital SLR with a live preview, just like those in standard snapshot cameras. Though the LCD certainly can't replace the viewfinder for most shooting, it turns out to be quite useful to have around. Aside from that innovation, the 7.5-megapixel E-330 is a decent, feature-packed, solidly built model, albeit with a few flaws. Opting for Olympus's f/2.8-to-f/3.5 14mm-to-54mm (28mm-to-108mm equivalent) lens rather than the f/3.5-to-f/5.6 14mm-to-45mm (28mm-to-90mm equivalent) that ships with the kit version makes this a more expensive--but ultimately more rewarding one--proposition.

Editor's note: This review has been updated since originally posting on February 23, 2006. Subsequent changes in the competitive landscape have led us to drop its Performance rating from 7 to 6, thereby reducing the overall rating from 7.7 to 7.
