Hi Gary,
there are no Olympus dealers around here. How is the viewfinder on  
the 330? I used to use an Olympus Pen F and the think I liked least  
about it was the small dim viewfinder. Have they managed to get a  
large(ish?) bright viewfinder on the 330? I have obviously not used  
one so maybe my opinion would change but I do not like using P&S  
digitals where the only viewfinder is the screen on the back. I feel  
like I can't support the camera properly at arms length and expect  
camera shake. Am I wrong for the 330?
Frank
PS I found the marketing about the 4/3 system intriguing when it was  
announced particularly the lens part, but I ended up accepting the  
compromise of a Canon as I had lenses.
