That and would I need an adapter to use a 58mm polarizers and UV filters?
Basically, what all would I need for a Powershot S3 IS to get started and where can I find it all for a good price?

Also I would recommend their 52 over the 58mm, unless you already have 58mm accessories.
I just received my order from them last week.
1x52mm adapter w/Hoya HMC UV
1x52mm adapter w/Hoya HMC CPL
That way I can use the quick change mount. Also got a quick-disconnect wrist strap, a rubber lens hood and a snap on lens cap. I would recommend them to anyone.

52 Eh? Well, thats good to know. Ain't got her any accessories yet so I shall keep that in mind while I'm lookin'.
And ya sure its not Lensmate Online? The link ya gave me led me to one of those phising search sites. >>
Just being curious, but why 52 over 58?
I'm quite sure he meant http://www.lensmateonline.com/ :toast:

Yeah, link edited...it was 5am and wasn't really thinking.
Ok my reason for going 52mm over the 58:
http://www.lensmateonline.com/newsite/S2.html
1. Cheaper filters
2. Looks better (IMO) - check the pictures on their site, to me the 52 looks more "natural"
3. The rest of the reasons are explained in the FAQ under the pictures.

I've had pretty good luck with www.onecall.com. The prices are inline with everyone else once the shipping's calculated; however, they're out of Spokane WA so the shipping time is less for me than coming from the east coast.
