I've found reference to the Fujifilm S3 Pro:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E330/E330A.HTM
"Two existing SLRs that do live preview are the Canon 20Da,
built specifically for astronomy, and the Fujifilm S3 Pro;
but both of these can only show a live preview for seconds,
and then only in monochrome mode."
and:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/s3-pro.shtml
"Live Preview
Unique among DSLRs, Fuji has implemented a live video preview.
Frankly, it's of limited usefulness, since it's in B&W only,
is only accessible from a menu (not a shooting setting), and
last for only 30 seconds. But, it's a portent for the future,
and some user's may find it of use."
Of course, there's always this:

It doesn't look like it's compatible with the E330
though; just the E300. ;-)
Oh, after Googling for a while, I couldn't find anything
on a Kodak "live preview" DSLR, so I gave up, because...
well, because I've a limited attention-span.
