Does this have a fixed lens or is it possible to interchange the lenses?

This camera, like all non-DSLR's, has a fixed lens. The only way to add a lens is to get an adapter tube. However I have tried that and have not been able to get better pics. So I sold my camera and bought a Coolpix P520, as it has 42x optical zoom and I can get a lot better bird close ups.

Fixed lens. It is a pretty simple camera. It doesn't take very clear pictures over time. I would not recommend it.

I was able to purchase additional lenses that came with adapter. zoom lenseand a wide angle lens

Hi Andrae, the flat lense is designed to work that way and can't be changed physically. -Vincent

I think it is a fixed lens, but you can make minor adjustments for focus. I was using it for photographing snowflakes, and the fact that it can adjust caused some issues with keeping them in focus. You want to lay the phone on something horizontal like a book that will hold it steady.

from what i know, yes the lenses are interchangable. i would do a little research to see if the insert is the same size and same lock. Also the E620 is an amazing camera, cant find anything it cant do.

I returned this camera but have a similar one (another brand) and I would feel sure that you canNOT change the lens.

No the lenses are not interchangeable. There is 1 super zoom lens that goes from about 24mm to 720mm I believe (can't remember the exact range). And and the camera does shoot in 1080 @ 30fps

I think there is not. All the reviews I've read about this lens before buying it says that's it's not possible.

Yes, it is an interchangeable lens camera. It accepts any "A mount" lens. And with mount adapters you can use many different lenses from just about any manufacturer.

The PowerShot S3is comes with a fixed lens. It does not have in interchangable lens, however, there is an option, with use of an adapter, to add a telephoto lens 1.5X, a wide angle lens and close-up lens. In addition, you can used various filters as well but not in conjunction with the adaptive lens.

Yes, it seems all Nikon compatible lenses are interchangeable but depending on the model of the lens or camera body some of the functionality may not be usable. An example would be stability control and auto-focus among other features. Be sure to do your due diligence in researching what will and will not work. I made the same transition in body you are asking about and had no problems with any of my lenses. I have Nikon, Sigma and Tamron lenses.

The lenses are interchangeable and could be utilized in the manner desired. However, and as a caveat, while trying to exchange the lenses on the first set purchased, and because it is so stiffly embedded in the frame, the frame actually snapped rendering the equipment useless. Be careful!

no. It is permanently attached. It has been designed and optimized for the sensor and the zoom range. If you want to change lenses, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Yes, as are all lenses with a fixed focal length. (It doesn't zoom.) I love mine and use it all the time because of the very short focal distance.

No. It is a fixed lens. However, the zoom level makes it a good everyday lens

i have a sony nex 3 and have lenses for it, can they be interchanged with this camera?

Completely interchangeable. Only older Sigma lenses may not work fully, but those lenses aren't worth keeping anyways.

I presume using other lenses provided: The other lens just 'screw' onto the fixed lens. Unless you're meaning storage of the external lenses???? I've got an extra camera bag for all the "loose' stuff.
