Q. does anyone know of a place i can buy/order some kind of fisheye lens that will work with my canon elura 100 camcorder,or do they even make one for that model?i purchased a wide angle lens from ebay a few months ago,but it didnt make much of a difference at all.i use the camera for filming bmx/skateboarding stuff,and i just want something that can give me alittle more room on the screen so i can follow closer to the person riding or skating.any help is appreciated.

Here is canon's own wide angle converter, but you could use any other converters as well, as long as your camera's lens diameter is the same as the adapter's diameter. They would probably also be cheaper (of course eBay is always a good place). As for making a difference in the picture, look at the converter rating. A .7x will provide about 35% more picture space while a .5X will double your angle of view. Anything beyond that and it'll be a fisheye lens. So if you can buy a .5x adapter, that might help increase your AOV a little more. Hope this helps!

Best wide-angle lens for Sony HDR-FX7 Camcorder?
Q. I am looking at .43x cheap lens on ebay, but am wondering if there is a better route to take. I need between .40 and .50 wide, but from what I see Sony only makes .8 or.7 wide. If I got a Sony lens I could probably get a hood with it, but not so with these cheapo lenses. Any ideas?
A. Hi Hallel:
All screw-on lens adapters are a compromise (compared to using a dedicated prime wide-angle lens, on a camcorder that accepts them), but as long as you select one that has the needed 62mm thread-mount that your FX7 requires, you can let your budget be your guide. The better-quality adapters will give you better sharpness in the frame corners, anti-halation coatings, etc.
Opteka is one of the cheaper/more-affordable brands you see on eBay and elsewhere (and they're carried by reputable camera dealers, too). Century Precision Optics is one of the better brands (and one I use with my Sony gear). Raynox & Canon also make good wide-angle adapters. Just match the proper "filter thread" diameter (or use adapter rings), and shop around for a wide-angle hood that matches the front element of the chosen adapter, if you have lens-flare problems.
hope this helps,
