What Is The UV Lens Filter Size To Use With Canon Power Shot Sx30 IS?

Dont want use its own canon filter adapter ring coz its costly.

Here’s an example of what I mean by sharp, accurate focus. Look at this portrait and closely at his eyes – you can’t help but notice how sharp they are.

-Thanks!

For instance if you have a Canon 1100D and want to shoot at parties, then a 35mm f/1.4 might suit you very well and be within your budget; but if you have a 1D Mk iv and want to shoot night football matches, you are looking at lenses starting at $3000 and rising steeply from there.

To simplify: close subjects on a "crop" sensor (portraits, parties, house-sized rooms) 35mm f/1.8 or f/1.4; or 18-55mm with a minimum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range. On a larger sensor camera, 50mm f/1.8 or 28-135mm f/4 or smaller (the large sensor handles high ISO better so you can get by with a slightly slower lens.
Church or Hall (like a dance or wedding venue): as above but about 30% longer focal length (35mm becomes 50mm and so on)
Sporting Venues: depends on the lighting, and indoors vs outdoors: 10mm -2300mm fv on a crop, and buy a monopod. 300mm f/4 on a full frame plus a monopod. These are not ideal by any means, but they are the best you will do at your 1K budget.

Do not ignore 3rd party lenses; Tokina, Sigma and Tamron. All three make lenses of high quality for your Canon often at much lower prices.
