Penetrates haze, adds warmth, and protects your valuable lens from scratches, dirt, fingerprints, etc. Leave it on your lens at all times. Polarizing Filter - For shooting in bright sun, at beaches, snow, ect. Controls bright light entering lenses for a better balanced color image. Darkens blue skies and reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces. Fluorescent Filter - Reduces the greenish cast common to fluorescent lighting and produces pleasing, natural results, particularly in flesh tones.
Price: $49.95
Customer Review: Great value for money
These lenses do the job perfectly at a fraction of the big name prices. They are well priced but the aluminum construction is a little thin and is not as robust as OEM Sony lenses so they need reasonable care in handling.
Customer Review: Nice filters but...
These filters fit quite nicely with my Vixia HF100 except for the fact that when you have more than one filter attached (i.e UV + PL) you can see the edge of the filters when you are fully zoomed out,

Customer Review: great cam
great camcorder for the price. perfect for taking family videos or youtube stuff. had it for a year with no problems. stick with the mini dv, the sdram video is too slow and the HD is limited.
Customer Review: Not 48x Optical Zoom, but 37x !
One remark: The camera has 37x OPTICAL ZOOM and 48x Advanced Zoom (optical + digital combined), a proprietary technology of Canon. This is true for the 320 and 310 also.
