Lens Adapters and Olympus Cameras???

Question

Hi please help me! I want to buy an Olympus SP 570 UZ because of its amazing features comparative to its price.

However I am disappointed because it does not come with the ability to put different lenses on it, and I am interested in having multiple "lenses" to use such a cross screen, etc.

Anyway, my question is, with a lens adapter, would it be possible to put other lenses on this camera? Thanks everybody! :)

From reading the Specifications and Accessories sections it appears you'll need the CLA-1 adapter and the 43-55mm Step-Up Ring. I wonder, however, if the CLA-1 will cause vignetting at the widest zoom (4.6-92mm, 26-520mm 35mm equivalent) setting. You might want to check with a real camera store and find out.

You know, you aren't too far price-wise from a true DSLR. Why not the Olympus E-510 for just a couple hundred dollars more? With the E-510 you'll have superior images with its larger (4/3) sensor versus the 1/2.33 sensor of the SP 570 UZ. Plus you'll have the benefit of interchangeable lenses.
