Released in 1990, two years after the award winning IZM300, the 330 is a lesser known product: so much so that is does not appear on Olympus' global site, only showing up on the US website (with all but one of the links/images for its page orphaned).

The 330 has a range of in-built features that are usually only found on higher-end SLR cameras (such as double expsoure mode); in terms of Olympus' product line, it would sit below the otherwise similarly featured 'L' Series as it is not an SLR. With a 38-105mm zoom lens, the 330 follows on from the 300 with a viewfinder that is coupled to the lens zoom - while it is not an SLR, the viewfinder zooms to represent the lenses view.

Perhaps the most notable feature of this camera is the lens cap - it doubles as an IR shutter remote.

  • DX film coding ISO 25-3200

  • Passive or continuous subject-tracking auto-focus
