A steady pair of hands..only then you'll be sure it won't go crashing into the ground..now getting a Lowepro ex120 photo/video bag will be more than enough.
It seems to me to be a bad idea to check the price after you have already bought the camera. You may get disappointed, particularly if the S3 price drops further after the S5 goes on sale. It's best to appreciate what you have. It's a fine camera, and you probably paid relatively a good price for it.
To protect the camera, I would suggest (a) a bag (b) a dry cabinet or box. As for lens, I don't bother but some users will suggest some filter.
AS what the forumer had mentioned, a bag, a dry box and a 52mm or 58mm adapter with UV lens.
This is how i start off with

Suggest that u dun take those original accessories from canon, very ex. 3rd party wants will fulfill u requirements. Check on the Raynox brands which highly recommanded byS2/S3 members. They are be found at http://www.mcgill.com.sg/shop/ or ebay.

thanks alot mine is S5 IS but same with s2/s3 bayonet mount
but just newbies and try to start play with that one
Plastic will wear out faster than metal. The Raynox adapter is metal as well as the Lensmate. There are also OEM brands out there which are made of metal. If you intend to mount a wide angle lens, then you will need to remove the UV filter on the adapter, then remount the WA lens, then remove the WA Lens, then remount the UV filter, etc...
Very soon you need to replace plastic adapter as the threads are word out...
I did the same thing. Bought the original and then sold off bec I wanted to buy the WA lens and realised the need to remove this remount that, etc...
I try it out metal lens adapter, but the thing is wasn't seal(solid fit), i feel a little loosing feel on
my bayonet mount and that metal adapter, ( when moving my camera, (like walking) I can heard loosing sound of that adapter.
that sale person told me as, all of the bayonet mount adapter is like that
not very seal(solid fitting) in all type of S series camera. He also explain me as if very fit with 2 metal (mount and adapter) wasn't too good.
( but what i found out is, one of my friend Fuji FinePix S5600 original lens adapter (plastic and screw type) is very seal (solid fit) in camera.
So, my doubt is all of the bayonet mount and metal adapter are like that not solid fitting
(can feel as loose and heard loosing sound).?????
