<p>[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 242507, member: 3813"]I'm considering picking these up, even considering replacing my DSLR with it, if it can do the job, but may I ask why (if it has interchangable lenses) it seems to require a lens adapter and the wide & telephoto lenses seem to snap onto the front of the... errr... lens (unless I am mistaken?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I might go look at one at a B&M as there's something confusing about the whole lens adapter thing (and yes, I know about the Lensmate one). Far as I can tell, the S3IS has a small lens, like most point & shoots, with a removeable trim ring. You need an adapter (something that should be included far as I can tell) which goes over the existing lens where the trim ring was. This adapter is basically a right-sized tube allowing one to screw on a 58mm filter and (and this is the part that confuses me) those little lenses (like the TC-DC58B or the WC-DC58A).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
