Is it possible to get a 'live feed' for remote viewing from the E-510?

I'm looking for a dslr that will allow me to use the camera in a remote location - from a blimp. I currently use a slr with a seperate video camera to link to a monitor. Does the E-510/410 or another camera have the ability to send continous live pictures directly from the camera to a monitor?

Honestly I've never seen an SLR with this capability, but there are a lot of camcorders with this ability. I know for sure that both the standard and professional amateur, and the professional camcorders from Sony all have the ability to do this with an added accessory or a connection to a computer interface. I'm fairly certain an SLR doesn't have this capability yet, but that pretty much any camcorder will be able to do this with an added accessory, or for sure with a computer interface that can transmit the image. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for the info - not the answer I was hoping for. A video camera won't solve my problem, I need a still camera. I'm hoping for a direct feed from the dslr without the need for a seperate video camera looking through the viewfinder. It works OK with the 35mm & 645 but I would like to do without it.

Both the Canon 40D and Nikon D300 offer remote control (live view and control) either via cable or WiFi (with the separate WiFi transmitters). 'just don't know what the WiFi range is.
