lense attachments

[josht]

Hey guys quick noob question, just got a canon powershot sx400 is.

Was just wonder if i was to get a lense adapter for it would that able me to attach another lense to it?

The real answer is no.  But you may be able to find some screw-on accessories to use on the front of the lens.  I wouldn't but some do.

Unfortunately no, your model wont accept an adapter ring which would then allow light lens attachments.

thanks for your answer im hearing mixed from everyone some say http://www.jjc.cc/index.php/Product/product_info/id/829 4 in 1 lense adaptor would allow me to attach lenses but im not to keen on wasting money to find out xD 

might be time for a dslr

Yeah I looked at that link and I cant see or tell how it attaches to the lens. It might just be a friction type mount.

When you look at the top rim of your lens are there any dimples or indentations that would allow for a ring to semi-screw on to it?

Nothing at all is mentioned on the Canon website about that kind of accessory for your model.

Thank you once again for taking the time to reply 🙂

Not that i can see which is strange because the adaptor has sold quite a few times 

anyway looking into getting a new camera on monday

"might be time for a dslr"

 You "might" be right!

contemplating getting a nikon d3200 unless someone knows of a similiar priced canon of the same quality?

You do know you are on the 'Canon' web site?  Everybody here is going to recommend a Canon!  The Rebel line is the direct competitor to the Nikon Dxxxx you are thinking about.

Model for model they are pretty close.  But the real thing is the lens.  Nobody but nobody has the lens line-up that Canon has.  If the cameras were identical in everything, price, features, everything, you would still want the Canon Rebel.  Simply because of the superior lenses Canon makes.

You will find packages and prices very similar.  But they don't have the lenses.  Why is this so important?  Because if you decide to expand your photography, Canon can and will take you farther.

Need another reason to go with a Rebel? Canon Support is vastly better than Nikon. Believe me on that one.  I know as I shoot both!
