You can film with this camera but it is very limited (space). No, the Nikon P510 is not compatible with fish eye lenses; this camera has a fixed lens. -- TeCoa

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!

recvd my nex5n a few wks ago,haven't tried video about the clicking sound though it doesn't matter to me, i have sony a55 for when i need it but so far I didn't use it too. If I want movies I'll buy a camcorder. all I'm interested a go around convience,which the the 5n has,and acording to the reviews. I'm thinking of the evf and wondering if it's worth the price. Lens adapter,forget about it.already have the a55 and my various lens,it's just defeating it's purpose. so again is the evf worth the dough. I'd like to hear from users.

It's wide angle-ish... not like fisheye but I do get a tad bit of distortive curve. Check out Digital Rev's review on youtube... there's examples of the pic. I definitely notice a difference between this lens and my lumix 20 mm. It's an awesome lens!

It does have fisheye, although I've never tried it. It also has panorama which works pretty well. However, it is a little finicky and often stops prematurely as I'm sweeping the scene.

Your questions been answered. I would also like to add to select the fisheye lens setting.

Yes, it's a good camera in regular lighting. Can get grainy in low light. Camera is taped based so it's old format. You need an external recorded if you want digital files. Camera is HD or shoots SD. You can shoot on either tape for backup if you use an external recorder (like a Sony). I would look to newer cameras despite the fact this camera has done me well over the past 3 years. There are just newer cameras out there for just a bit more money. But tapeless is my recommendation or if you get the FX7 at a great price then it's worth it.

The filming quality is good, as long as you don't scratch the lens. This camera does not have an auto-close function on the lens. You have to remember to close it every time. I put it in a back pack for 20 min. and forgot to close the lens cover, it ruined the lens and camera. There is not a light, but it does record decently in low light.

I had to send the camera back; because, the camera got moisture inside and stopped working. The lens also had issues fogging up in humid conditions. My camera never went below a few feet. So I do not know if this is a build quality issue or a design problem with the camera. When working it took great pictures and we had fun using the camera for some surfing photos. The video record feature is also very nice and easy to use. It is a good action camera that can get wet. As to waterproof, I am not so sure. Hope this helps, Phil

Okay, thanks a lot, new at this and I wasn't sure if the lens quality is the same. I appreciate everyone's help!

It does a good job with video, as it's HD, at 720p. However, it doesn't seem to adjust focus well, if you change the telephoto setting while filming. It's better to stop recording, adjust your teldphoto lens to where you want it, then re-focus before recording again. I have not uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can't comment on that, but it should work OK.

I am happy with mine. Unless you are going to spend the value of the camera base on a lens or more, should be fine.

Hi,The problem I found is that I could not focus my lenses. If you have a short lens it might be possible but difficult to turn in the plastic. It is also very difficult to see through the plastic. I'm not sure if this is really just to carry your camera to protect it from the water spraying. In that case this would work fine but to shoot while it is in the plastic was impossible for me so I had to return it. Sadly the only real way to achieve focusing and shooting is a real underwater case which cost about $2,000.

This particular lens is not threaded to receive filters and other lens. In fact this lens has to be attached to another lens by the threads on the back end of the fisheye lens or an adapter that would connect to your camera. If you could connect a macro lens at the back of the fisheye and then connect directly to the camera it might possibly work if you can get the coupled lens to focus, I feel this might be the thing that would prevent it from working. Keep in mind that the fisheye cannot be connected to a camera in the normal manner and only has threads on the rear of the lens which requires connecting to another lens or adapter that has the connection as your camera.

Yes d5300 is dx format should work great love this lens! Not sure about auto focus but not a big issue with fisheye

Dear Stan,I just purchased the S10 as a replacement camera and generally love it. However, the lack of an eyelevel viewfinder is a huge drawback. I spent a week in Mexico at the beach and just couldn't for sure see what I was shooting. The good news is that I shot anyway and got some really awesome action shots of sea birds and ocean wildlife. I've learned to view from the side so I don't see a bright reflection of myself in the LCD. I'm sure it does not help that I need reading glasses (the I generally don have on outside) to see close objects so that blurs the LCD too.

Yes, it is compatible but a full-frame lens (FX) would be better suited for your camera.
