What is a wide angle magnetic lens?


I am going to buy a digital camera and I wanted to know what a Wide Angle Magnetic Lens actually is? Please help

please help!!!!!!!!

A magnetic lens is a lens that attaches to a digital camera that isn't designed to take accessory lenses.

The magnetic part allows it to stick to the camera.

It's not the same as having a specially designed lens, like on an SLR camera.

On such "wide-angle" lenses, they are usually low quality and you can expect a lot of distortion in the images.

The len attaches via a magnet. Wide angle, basically you get almost twice as much in the picture. In the old days, it was measure in millimeters (such as a 28). The semi downside it is shaped like a magnifying len, where the objects near the edge of the picture tend to distort. Example, taking a picture of a building, it would tend to look more pointy than flat at the top. It is handy for shooting in a cramped small place, like a kids birthday party in the kitchen. Try to buy a digital camera with a telescopic len going from wide to telephoto.
