Canon FA-DC67A Filter Adapter



Finally Canon has suppled a their own Filter Adapter for Canon SX10, SX20 and SX30 Cameras. It's called Canon FA-DC67A Filter Adapter. This Canon FA-DC67A Filter Adapter is perfect for Canon SX10 or SX20 or SX30 Cameras. It's well built and solid. The FA-DC67A Filter Adapter  is designed to move along with the lens while zooming, preventing vignetting at the wide-angle end of the zoom and providing filter coverage throughout the full optical zoom range of the lens.

Downside of this Canon FA-DC67A Filter Adapter is You can only mount 67mm Filters. Which are expensive than  58mm Filters which you can mount with usual Janco 58mm Filter Adapter. Also the price difference between Janco 58mm Filter Adapter and FA-DC67A Filter Adapter. Janco Filter Adapter is only $9 at Amazon.com and FA-DC67A Filter Adapter is around $39.

Lensmate 58mm Filter Adapter for Canon SX10 IS camera

Lensmate are the guys who have started offering  58mm custom built filter adapter for Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera. This  was a great news for Canon SX10 IS camera owners those days. They launched it in Feb, 2009 I think. I bought a Lensmate 58mm filter adapter in April same year. Their site is pretty good and informative also they have a list of Canon SX10 IS camera accessories available in their online shop.
Their Lensmate 58 Filter Adapter is good. It fits to the lens barrel without a problem. Only problem is it's plastic. It's not a problem but you don't feel safe like a Janco 58mm metal filter adapter. But in those early days Lensmate 58mm Filter Adapter was the only one available for Canon SX10 IS camera Owners. Another problem with Lensmate is their shipping cost and products are expensive than in Amazon. I bought a Hoya 58mm CIR-Polarizing Filter which costed me over $70. Also their Lensmate 58mm adapter is not available anywhere else than their own site.
Now you can find a good 58mm Filter Adapter which is custom built for Canon SX10 IS camera from Amazon.com. It's called Janco 58mm Filter Adapter. Also there is a Chinese 58mm Filter adapter you can find in Ebay. Janco 58mm Filter Adapter is metal and its cheaper than Lensmater or Ebay Filter Adapters. Also I heard plenty of good reviews about it. So If you are looking for a 58mm Filter Adapter for your Canon SX10 IS camera or Canon SX20 IS camera then buy the Janco 58mm Filter Adapter. Unfortunatly they ship it only within USA. So you if you are not in USA you ll need to check Ebay or buy the Lensmate Adapter.

Janco 58mm Filter Adapter For Canon SX10 IS Camera

Janco 58mm Filter Adapter

If you have a Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera then you must have realized you can't attach any filters to this camera since it has no filter mounts. Some try to force 52mm filters but its not very healthy for your camera. So the best option is having a 58mm Filter Adapter. Till now there was only one solution for that. That was Lensmate 58mm Filter Adapter which they have sold only through their site. Finally some other company has stepped in and has introduced another 58mm Filter Adapter to market. That is Janco 58mm Filter Adapter which you can simply buy from Amazon.com and its cheaper than Lensmate 58mm Filter Adapter too.


Janco 58mm Filter Adapter perfectly fits with all 3 cameras of this range. Canon Powershot sx10 IS, Canon Powershot SX1 IS and New Camera, Canon Powershop SX20 IS. If you have one of these cameras then you really need this 58mm Filter Adapter / Step-up ring. It let you use all 50mm filters as well as Macro conversion lenses such as Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro Conversion Lens. But of cause You can use the Raynox Maxro lens even without the 50mm Filter Adapter since its a snap-on type Lens.

There are bunch of accessories which you can use with this camera.
