Just got my new Canon ZR80 to replace my old ZR20 and was wondering if anyone here uses filters (UV, polarized, florestent) or what. They arent horribly expensive on ebay. Or shold I forget them and just buy a wide angel lens of my camera?

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

thanks

uv filter:
can be useful while working in great altitudes (aka mountains), recording in snow etc... some people prefer just to use neutral grey filters...

polarized filter:
hmmm - ccd chips need circular filters, otherwise you get some strange resultes; my experience with circular polarized filters is, that you cannot work with them as with "normal" pfs; to vanish glitches on water, mirroring surfaces etc...- ???

wide angel:
a very common tool especially for modern sports fotografy, skater movies etc... get close, get closer ;-)

i spent money on extra accu
filtering is done in FCE (adding a more blue sky etc)
