Technology

Spotless Pictures

Dust and other micro particles won't be an issue with the patented Olympus Dust Reduction System, featuring the SuperSonic Wave Filter that vibrates 35,000 times per second whenever the E-330 is powered up or can be initiated manually to remove any debris settled on the image sensor.

The Evolt E-330 is compatible with the largest selection of lenses designed especially for digital photography--from fisheye to wide-angle and telephoto lenses--for dynamic images that are brighter, more colorful and super sharp.

Live MOS 7.5-Megapixel Imager

This advanced 7.5-megapixel imager turns every photo into a dynamic one with edge-to-edge detail, accurate color and less noise.

Fast and Smooth with TruePic TURBO

The exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor delivers the speed to capture shots at a moment's notice while also doubling as a resource that micro-smoothes individual pixels for finer, brighter results.

Customer Reviews

Everything I needed in a DSLR
I began looking at DSLRs when it became time to step up from an old Nikon Coolpix. I have owned Olympus 35mm SLRs in the past and was comfortable with the brand and I read some good reviews of them. The Olympus cameras seemed to offer good value for the dollar, especially the 2-lens kits. The thing that sold me on the E-330 was the live view with tilting LCD screen. I often want to take low angle shots and my knees don't care much for bending and stooping anymore, so the ability to flip out the view screen and use it to frame the shot rather than the viewfinder was of major interest to me. It works every bit as well as I'd hoped it would.

As for picture quality, I use the camera mainly to illustrate articles for a regional motorcycle magazine and the E-330 provides everything I need. The camera handles well and I don't feel I lack for anything, with the possible exception of ISOs beyond 1600 (I don't like using flash). That being said, I have used the camera for interior shots at ISO 1600 with good results. The photos look very similar to pictures taken with ISO 1600 film, and I can certainly live with that.

Olympus has since come out with their pro model E-3, which also has live view and a tilt screen, and I'm sure it's a much more advanced camera. But the E-330 does what I need at less than half the price of the E-3. I'm satisfied with the E-330 and consider it a very wise purchase.

Olympus E330
Olympus Evolt E330 7.5MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-45mm f3.5/5.6 & 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lenses I got this camera Olympus E330 about a month ago and i love it. The tilting screen on the back is very hady for hard to get shots. I bought from Cameta Camera. It was shipped fast and packed great. I would highly recomemend this camera for your main camera or a back up.

A very good choice
The E 330 is an outstanding camera. If it only had the possibility of cable remote control, it should have been almost perfect
