The live view is the screen on the back. Other SLR's don't use that to frame the shots, only to view them after the fact.
ohh ok...
Hello Diverep,
What did you end up recommending to Santelmo? (I'm admittedly cheating a bit on narrowing down my choices )

I've been looking at the 330 and 510 also--- but having to wait for Ikelite to start producing the housing for the 510 is a definite drawback..
I did contact Ikelite about it and here was their response:
Missy,
It's too early. We plan to offer a housing for the Evolt 510, but we have not yet assessed the camera. Please check back in 3-4 weeks.
Thanks for the inquiry.
Regards,
Brett Foster / Ikelite
MissyHello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo
¿Dónde está?
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Missy, they said the same thing to me 3-4 weeks ago.
There are soooo many cameras, and they change so often, and each housing has to be specific to each camera, that it is a nightmare for manufacturers!
Especially considering it is not like they sell 5000 housings of one type.....
At least the D200 body has been a standard for quite some time.
As soon as I hear if they plan on going ahead I'll let you and Allison know.
Hello,
I am reviving this thread because I now know that ikelite offers housings for both the E410 and E510. I was wondering if anyone was using either setup and what your thoughts were about this camera. I am trying to upgrade from the Olympus C8080 (hate it) and find a new camera to fit my needs.
Any thoughts on other choices would be helpuful. Here is what I am looking for.
- Eye-start Autofocus (Sony A100)
- Built-in Anti Shake (Sony A100, Oly E510, Canon G9, Samsung GX-10)
- Anti Dust (Sony A100, oly E510, Samsung GX-10, Canon G9)
- compact flash (oly E510)
- 3" display (Canon G9)
- Live view (oly E510, Canon G9)
- live view histogram (Canon G9, oly E510)
- Rotating images on LCD screen (oly E510, Sony A100, Canon G9)
- weather protection (Samsung GX-10)
thanks again
Layne
Well, I decided against any of the cameras I listed and went with the Pentax K10D. I got the camera about a week ago and so far I am very impressed. I will report more later once I have put it through its paces...
