Olympus E-330 Digital SLR

The Live View, articulated LCD on the E-330. Because I do a lot of product photography, the movable LCD looks really nice to me. It hurts my back to always be squatting down and leaning over to look through my viewfinder when I'm doint tabletop photography.

The camera is shown here using a special close-up mode. The combination of LCD zoom for focus, and the movable LCD make the E-330 an ideal outdoor macro camera. Wildflower photography, anyone?

Too square to be hip.

I love the popout LCD on this camera, something not seen on anyother DSLR. The obvious reason for this is the lack of a live preview mode on every other DSLR to date. I have to wonder though, if this will be a good thing. It will certainly become more and more prevalent i think, but it concerns me as a serious feature. It seems maybe like more of a distraction, but then I have never used it. Only time will tell.

I do tons of tabletop product photography. This would really be nice for my back. I hate leaning over the camera for a couple of hours. I do wonder how having a live preview might change the way people shoot. I know that I wouldn't want to use it when I'm shooting sports. Looking through the viewfinder makes you one with the camera. Panning with an LCD just doesn't work.
