I have a HP digital camera and there is no way to do it without the

expense of add-on filters.

My photographer friend was just dissing companies like HP that think they
can make cameras. It's true that most of the internals of a digital
camera
are not much different from a computer, but the most important part of any
camera is the lens. Stick to cameras from _camera_ companies - like
Canon,
Minolta, etc, and you'll have a better chance of (a) good pictures; and
(b)
being able to put a filter on it. Back when I was into 35mm photography we
almost never shot without a UV filter - it rarely hurts a picture, and it
protects the camera lens.
=====================
Thanks Derek. We didn't realize that when we bought this camera a few years
ago. With the kids grown and gone we don't take as many pictures, so don't
want to invest a lot of money in a new camera.
