Default Lens Adapter

I have a Cannon Powershot sx150 and would like to purchase a adapter for it. Im not sure on the size I should buy. If anyone has the camera I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Just looking at the specs, I don't think the SX150IS can take any adapters at all. There's no way to attach them to the lens. Only the top-end point and shoots can take an adapter tube (G12, SX40, and SX30). Those cameras all have a removable ring (the button on the lower right on the face of the camera is the release), which covers a bayonet mount onto which you can mount an adapter tube, so you can put filters/teleconverters in front of the lens. Without that mount, you have to find another way to hold things in front of the lens.

That's what I was seeing. I was hoping there was just like a sleeve to put over it with a threaded end.

i also have the canon sx150 and ive been searching for a adapter and i know there is one because i saw a canon sx130 is adapter and that model is almost the same with the canon sx150
But im sure adapters will be out soon due to the fact that the camera is new so give it some time and youll find some adapters
let me know if you find early please
