GadzookiInterchangeable Lenses on a Digital Point-and-Shoot Camera?
Posted by Andrew G.R. as EditorialOften this blog tells you about the latest and greatest gadgets and gizmos that are either just hitting shelves or soon to be released. Well today I need YOU to give me a better understanding of something…
Recently, I listed my home with a real estate agent. Part of the selling process is taking pictures of each room to be posting on a Website. None of the rooms are humongous, and I found myself having trouble capturing multiple walls with my point-and-shoot digital Canon.
What I needed was some type of wide-angle lens. Since I don’t to shell out the money for (or learn how to use, for that matter) a camera with interchangeable lenses, I figured there had to be a cheap alternative.
I came up empty. The closest I came to finding what I needed was this lens adaptor hack.
So my question is this: Does a point-and-shoot camera with interchangeable lenses exist?
And since I don’t really understand many photography basics: If it doesn’t exist, why not?
Even if the photos aren’t “professional” grade, isn’t there a market for consumers who want to have fun with some silly (yet useful) snap-on lenses?

19|Mar|2008Canon A-series cameras usually have these. You can purchase the lens adaptor, and a wide- or tele-converter lens separately. But at the cost of each of these, it’s almost like buying a new camera.
My suggestion, go for the kodak dual-lens point and shoot cams. These have the usual 3x (or 4x?) zoom plus an ultrawide angle lens for use when the need arises.
I shoot with a DSLR, so you can imagine how expensive a hobby that can get, with all the lens, flash, and other accessories/options I can run into.
