questions about my S5200

[SamuelA]

For Christmas I got a FujiFilm S5200 that I absolutely love and haven't put down since then. But my father was saying when he was at Wolf Camera purchasing it..the man said that you can't get additional lenses to it. I got scared and got on the computer and looked up some info but really couldn't find anything that backed up his statement. So does the S5200 support additional lenses? I'm hoping the answer will be yes. Thanks.

The camera’s impressive 10x optical zoom has a fixed lens housing and covers all settings from wide to telephoto. It’s ideal for amateurs and photography enthusiasts alike who want optical power but don’t want to compromise with a heavyweight or bulky camera body. The fixed lens housing also ensures a lightning-fast start-up time and removes the risk of getting dust particles inside the lens or camera body.

Sorry mate - sounds like you cant change lenses - but you can buy things to add on to the front of it to get better wide angle.

But I'm still keeping this thing..none the less, its an amazing camera for my experience level.

no. you can't change lenses. I have s5000. but you can "add" something to the in-built lens like teleconverter or wide angle. but zoom in this camera is pretty good so I think there's no need to worry. it is a perfect camera for somebody who is starting his/her adventure with photography
