This dont work with G32003-07-02
I bought this accesory thinking that it was compatible with the Canon powershot G3 (because it is in the list of accesories for this camera) but it doesnt work with the G3. Buyers beware. If you have a G3 you should buy a LA-DC58B instead.
My [two cents worth]2003-01-11
I have this adapter just in the need that I want to use the special effect filters.. it serves this purpose very well, however, I've also noticed some drawbacks that annoy me quite often.

a) it blocks the build-in flash if you don't zoom in.
b) it blocks the low-light focus-assistant beam!! and for my G2, although it is a Canon Type-A camera, the red-light focus-assitant beam of the external flash Speedlite 420EX won't work. That said, you are taking risks on using autofocus, and if you are using those converters, say bye bye to autofocus.
c) my silver G2 looks bad with this BLACK adaptor...

Good if you have 58mm filters and Canon SLR Camera2001-08-21
This lens adapter has some advantages: 1- Wide opening (58mm) so reduce vignetting 2- Same filter size for Canon SLR like ELAN 7E, thus same filter set can be used for both Digital and film. 3- You can always keep it on the camera with an UV adapter, protecting your lens, don't forget the cap. Disadvantages: 1- Blocks viewfinder, you have to use LCD, which I always do because viewfinder never shows %100 coverage of real shot. 2- Blocks a slight portion of low light sensor, but I did some tests, it does not have much blockage and low light sensor works OK in my camera with this converter attached. 3- Blocks microphone, I did not test the effect of converter on microphone. Some notes: If you buy this converter, don't buy a non-coated filter because camera has an excellent coated lens, and you don't want to reduce your image quality with a [price] lens. Go for a [price] B+W or at least double coated hoya filter.
Great except for a couple of things...2001-06-01
My only complaint is that the 58mm converter partially obstructs your view when you are using the viewfinder and the zoom is set to the widest angle. The converter appears as a black crescent in the bottom of the viewfinder. At one-half to maximum zoom, this is not a problem. When you use the LCD to frame your shots, this is not an issue.

The converter is great though in a number of ways: 1) Attaches third-party filters which give you lots more options, and protects the built-in lens

2) Gives you a more secure grip on the body, more like a 35mm camera

And don't forget to buy a new lens cap for the 58mm threads.

Nifty Lens Adapter for the Canon PowerShot G12001-01-06
This is the lens adapter for the new Canon PowerShot G1. When you attach the LA-DC58 to your digicam, it converts the lens to 58mm and allows you to attach a variety of accessories, namely Canon's "Wide Angle Lens", "Close up Lens (Macro)", and "Tele Converter Lens" all for the G1. With the adapter the lens also accepts many other 58mm goodies, including the dozens of 58mm filters you see on Amazon.com, so you can still use polarizers, UV lens protectors, etc.

My only complaint about the LA-DC58 is that since it widens the diameter of the lens, it partially obstructs the view of the AutoFocus assist light (for low-light conditions) and the G1 microphone.

Other than that, the LA-DC58 is a nice add-on for the Canon PowerShot G1!

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this.
