If you do a search of these fourms you will find plenty of opinions regarding the E-330 and related equipment.

Great idea! I have one and love it. The newest Olys 410, etc. have "live view." I think you will see more and more high-end cameras with this feature.

Before going with it I would check out its high ISO performance. My Wife's Oly Evolt 500 has poor high ISO performance. Pics at ISO 800 are almost unusable.

In fourty years of underwater photography I have never used film or digital above ISO 400 and find this to be an issue near the bottom of my concerns in camera choice. We all know that sub 35 mm sensors have more noise issues at high ISO than most 35 mm size sensors and that 35 mm sensors have more issues than most medium format sensors. But most are not using medium format cameras underwater. Every camera has trade offs and the E-330 is no exception. What is relevent is that in the price range the E-330 has as many upsides as the rest of the market and is capable of outstanding images in the normal ISO range.

I agree. I was just a little disappointed with the Evolt 500 "topside" performance shooting a track meet in late afternoon in shaded areas. I expected it to be better.
