Lighting and Lense equipment for the Canon Powershot G11?

Mar 08, 2010 by precious jewel | Posted in Cameras

I have the Canon Powershot G11... I need better zoom quality and want to purchase an extended lense for it but don't know which one to get, any suggestions? Also what is the best online store for lighting equipment that would sync with my camera

There are several low cost generics for the G11 but quality would be a concern. Canon has its own but its much more expensive. Links for both are below.

For the lighting try B&H Photo and Adorama.

Opteka HD² Professional Digital Accessory Kit for Canon Powershot ...

- Note that the front group of the wide-angle lens can be detached to leave a macro lens, so you really do have all the pieces you need for a full lens kit. Real fun to play with since there’s so much stuff packed in. However, this isn’t top quality stuff, not going to be taking pro photos with it – but, still a blast to play with. I know that as I work with the kit more, I probably become more cognizant of its limitations, and I’ll look to upgrade piece by piece, but it’s a fantastic starting point. I’m not expert, but I haven’t noticed any flaws yet — no noticeable distortion and the build quality seems pretty solid. Although I have heard that Opteka gear is not top of the line, I must say, I’m pretty impressed with it so far. This kit came in exactly as advertised. It’s got everything I need to push my photography to the next level....
