Sony W70
I recently had the opportunity to replace my ancient Coolpix 990. We also needed a compact camera for day-to-day use on holiday etc.. So I thought that I would try and Kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes.
Why the W70?
One of my main reasons for purchasing this camera is that you can buy an adapter (screws into the tripod socket) that provides a 30mm filter thread. Its originally designed to take Sony's wide angle and telconverter lenses. I already had an LCE adapter for my Swarovski ATS 20-60x eyepiece, so it was just a case of buying a step down-ring from srbfilm.co.uk.Below is a photo of the camera and adapter all connected together along with a couple of pics.
Total cost of the bits: Sony VAD-WB adapter from Amazon £8.99 and 30mm>28mm step down-ring from srbfilm £4.90, plus the camera of course
Cheers,
Mark
