slr digital camera lens filters image
Zag
I'm looking for a compact digital camera that filters can be fitted to so that I can use filters in my photography.
Are there any on the market?
I'm looking at high spec cameras, not budget ones.
Any info would be appreciated.
Answer
That really is not too practical for a compact digital due to the fact that most of their lenses retract into the body when you turn them off. Most any camera shop should be able to come up with an adapter ring that snaps over the out side front edge of the lens, to take what ever filters you want, but you will most likely have to take it off when the camera is shut down. You also have white balance built in and, in some cases, some filers, so I'm not sure what kind of filters you think you need. That is one reason I up-graded from my Toshiba compact to my Pentax SLR and I keep a UV filter on all my lenses as they are one heck of a lot cheaper than a new lens. Also, I do use my polarizing filter quite a bit on my 18x55 lens.

What is the best 35mm digital camera that will hold an wide angel lens priced under $600?

Hi,
I need a 35 mm digital camera that I can attach a wide angel lens too. Obviously, I would also buy a separate compatible wide a angel lens. I would like at least 10 mega pixel and would like a camera. I can only spend $600 which includes any taxes.. Any ideas?
Answer
any of the modern digital SLR's (dSLR's) will be suitable
but there are few if any 35mm dSLR's in your budget, AFAIK only top end dSLR's like the Canon EOS..but they cost multi thousands
it comes down to what you call a wide angle lens. moder dSLR's tend to use smaller sensors than 35mm film format.. hence they have a so called 35mm equivalent.. for most thats around 1.25 to 1.5 times 35mm, for four thirds cameras (Olympus & Panasonic) this factor is twice. so they may produc e a lens which optically is 14-50mm zoom is quoted at 28-100mm equivalent for Olympus, or 32-75mm at 1.5 times
so having said that any dSLR with a suitable lens will do the job. despite what some people say I don't think there is as big a difference between the makes as people say. so go to a camera shop and make your own mind up as to which camera you like. theres is an argument that buying a Canon or Nikon on the basis that you may be able to get cheaper lenses secondhand on EBAY or similar, and that mey be true. Its also true that Nikon Canon and others built dSLR's that could use a photographers exisitng lenses.., anoither of the rreasons given why Cznonor Nikon may be better/// I'd argue the Olympus approach of starting from scratch desiging lenses for the digital requirements a smarter approach.. fourthirds lenses tend to be smaller and lighter.
An alternative approach would be to find a suitable lens and then buy the best camera body you want (remembering to allow for things like memory cards, protective filter, camera gadget bag, card reader etc....)
there is a steep learning curve to get the best out of the camera
