Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the market for a new digital compact camera, and am leaning strongly towards the Canon Gx5 Mark ii.
Is a skylight (clear glass) filter recommended and even available for such cameras? Given the high price point, I'd be very reluctant to leave the lens unprotected, even if it is retractable. I've done some online research, and it seems filters for smaller compact digital cameras are extremely hard to come by.
Can any owners of this camera (or similar Canon digital compact) weigh in? Do you use a filter to protect the lens? Is it necessary for point-and-shoot digital cameras?
Thanks for your time.
