Bought an Olympus E-330 digital SLR recently? Well, the company is offering as many as six add-on kits targeted at specific applications including travel, macro and underwater photography.

While the preview LCD leaves us a bit wanting (it's a 2.5" LCD - I'd prefer a 3.0" on an SLR camera), the screen is good with a 90° up-tilting and 45° down-tilting possible making it easy to frame your pictures. All kits come with the E-330 body, and some additional goodies.

Olympus E-330 Architecture Pro Kit
Architecture Pro KitIf photographing buildings and architectural wonders is your thing, the Olympus E-330 Architecture Pro Kit is made for you. Starting with Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm (1:4.0) and Zuiko Digital 14-54mm (1:2.8-3.5) lenses, you get all you need for taking superb photographs. The 7-14mm lens has a huge 114° angle of view and you can capture images at 1:4.0 fixed aperture. This kit also includes an FL-50 flash, a professional grade flash with Guide Number of 50. The second zoom lens provides a greater shooting range.

Olympus E-330 Medical & Macro Pro Kit
Medical and Macro Pro KitWith a Zuiko Digital 50mm 1:2.0 macro lens, and another 14-54mm 1:2.8-3.5 lens, this kit is a dentist's dream. The 50mm lens, an equivalent of 100mm on a 35mm camera, offers true-to-life macro shots at a 1:2 magnification. This kit also includes SRF-11 Ring Flash with FR-1 flash adapter, which ensures a uniform illumination at close range. This is essentially useful for taking shots of teeth, skin or other close-range subjects.

Olympus E-330 Travelling Pro Kit
Travelling Pro KitThis one's meant for me. I'm sure of it. With two Zuiko lenses (a 11-22mm splash-proof lens and another 18-180mm), Olympus has also thrown in an FL-36 external flash. The kit also includes an SBC-1 E-System Bag Compact - an ideal travel partner. Combining the two lenses gives you a huge 11-180mm focal range (which turns out to be 22-360mm on a 35mm camera). Is that yummy or what?

Olympus E-330 Nature Pro Kit
Nature Pro KitEnvy National Geographic photographers? Wondering how you can take such breath-taking photographs when you're out in a jungle? Check out the Nature Pro Kit.
