I have been looking at new camcorders for a while now and with a under $400 and I am deciding between the sony handycam cx-160 and handycam cx-260. They both film in 1080/60p, but the 260 is better in lowlight. For only 30 more dollars I can get the 260. But heres the downside, the 260 has no filter to attach lenses, but the 160 does. Will the lens be wide enough for skiing? or should I get the 160 and get a wide angle lens/fisheye? thanks and +K for help

Basically just want to know if extra lenses are a necessity when buying a camcorder, for some reason sony's new models dont have the option of adding lenses
