58mm Filter Adapter for CANON PowerShot SX20 IS

This is really a great news ! One of the biggest problems we have in Canon SX10 , SX1 and SX20 cameras are Unlike the Canon S5, the SX20, SX10 does not have a mount at the base of the built in lens, so a regular tube adapter is not possible. The only option left is attaching a filter adapter at the end of the zoom lens. Till now there were only 58mm Filter Adapter which fit Canon powershot SX20 IS camera. That was Lensmate SX20, SX10 & SX1 IS  58mm Filter Adapter. Only place you can buy it from is their own website. BUT,
Now there is a new 58mm Filter Adapter out there which fit CANON PowerShot SX20 IS perfectly ! That is Janco 58mm Filter Adapter for CANON PowerShot SX1 SX-20 SX-10 DC lens. Janco 58mm Filter Adapter is a custom designed for Canon SX20, SX10 & SX1 IS lens and it Allows camera to accept any 58mm threaded filter, step-up ring or macro lens.A central knurl makes it easy to hang on to when attaching filters or mounting it on the camera.
One important thing you have to keep in mind about this 58mm Filter Adapter for Canon SX20 IS is when this lens adapter mounts on the lens, the lens can not accept the original lens hood or Original Lens Cap. But its not a big deal since you can buy a Canon E-58U 58mm Snap-On Accessory Lens Cap along with the 58mm Filter Adapter. Canon 58mm Snap-On Lens Cap fits perfectly into 58mm Filter Adapter so you would need to worry about loosened Lens Caps.
Janco 58mm Filter Adapter is something you must have if you buy a Canon SX20 IS camera. Because it helps you to work with all kind of filters and Macro converters. You can use those without a 58mm Filter Adapter. Specailly if you  love to take Macro photos and want to have a Macro Converter such as Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro Conversion Lens. This Raynox DCR-250 Macro Conversion Lens is my favorite Canon SX10IS accessory since I bought the camera.
For the Canon 58mm Lens Cap You ll need to buy a Lens Cap Keeper too. If you can going to order the Canon 58mm lens cap from Amazon then you can buy BowerCK501 Lens Cap Keeper along with it.The CK501′s elastic loop fits perfectly snug around the base of the lens barrel. The 4.5 inch is correct size for Canon SX20 IS camera as well as Canon SX10 IS Camera. Also its elastic, expands to fit the circumference of your lens. It keeps me from losing your lens cap so it will worth more than pay. Make sure you glu it properly.

Facts about Canon SX20 IS Digital Camera

Here are few things which you might want to know about Canon SX10 IS camera. Also you want to chose between Canon SX10 IS and Canon SX20 IS. Both cameras are same when it comes to photography but difference is the Video quality. So basically if you are not interested in Videos and there is a SX10 IS for good price I think its fine to buy it.
  • Canon SX20 IS Digital camera has HD video option which Canon SX10 IS camera doesn’t have. If your plan is to use this camera mainly has a camcorder then Better go for SX20 IS camera. But it doesn’t mean SX10 IS has bad video quality. Just that HD video is better.
  • Canon SX10 IS is a 10 Mega pixel Camera and Canon SX20 IS has 12 Mega pixels. Additional 2MP supposed better give high ISO performance. But I have heard different opinions about this. Like extra MP on the same sensor might do bad things to the low light performance. But I don’t have real experience about this since I haven’t check this by my self.
  • You can’t use CHDK with Canon SX20  IS camera so far. I hope Canon will fix this soon since it can gives loads of advantages.
  • Some people try to force 52mm filters to Canon SX20 IS and Canon SX10 IS but this is not true and also might damage the camera. The best and only option so far is using Lensmate 58mm filter adapter. Also that’s the safest option.
  • Don’t use External Tele converters on Lensmate 58mm filter adapter because it might put too much weight would likely break the mounting points.
  • Both Canon SX20 IS and Canon SX10 IS have 1.5 and a 2X teleconverter built into the camera. But these are strictly “digital”. Those only do  in-camera crop and resizing of your images. Better use regular “Digital Zoom” since it doesn’t start throwing away pixels until you’ve maxed out the optical zoom. You can do cropping and resizing in post-processing.
