filter

torkk · 5th of October 2007 (Fri)

Hi all, I have the S3 Is and Im getting ready to pick up a couple of filters. With the polarizer filters, which type is best for my cam, linear or circular?

And what others would be good to get?

Thanx

For the S3, a linear polarizer will be fine. CPs are for cameras (like SLRs) with beam-splitters. You may want a ND filter or two down the road, but see how you like the polarizer first.

ND - neutral density. Allows long exposures in daylight for things like silky running water.
