The E-330 with Live Preview capability has been awarded the TIPA “Best Imaging Innovation” prize in Europe for 2006. The Live Preview function has set a new standard in digital SLR photography by combining, for the first time, the convenience of a digital compact camera with the high-quality standards of a digital SLR. Eliminating the need to look through the ocular, continuous live views on the tilting, multi-angle, 6.4 cm large LCD not only offer users the advantage of knowing what’s going on around them while they shoot. They also greatly extend shooting flexibility – no matter if taking shots with interesting perspectives from unusual positions or even capturing scenes of marine life from below the water’s surface with the camera protected in a specially-available underwater case. Naturally, the E-330 also impresses in terms of picture quality, featuring a new-generation image sensor with 7.5 million pixels for stunningly sharp results.
