And you thought you'd never see the day... Olympus has announced the E330 - a world first DSLR with a live preview on the LCD monitor. All DSLRs to date only allow you to view image through an optical through-the-lens viewfinder, making some shots such as macros, and above the head/below the waist shooting kinda awkward.

I wonder why no one thought of it sooner...
Quote:The seven-point-five megapixel E-330 is the first digital SLR designed to provide a full-time live view on its LCD monitor while still providing a usable through-the-lens viewfinder. It provides two live view modes, the first uses a small CCD sensor integrated into the viewfinder chamber, the second mode uses the main sensor but this blocks the viewfinder and disables auto-focus.Dpreview have a hands on preview of it here:
