What lenses should I buy for the canon powershot g5 x?

The Canon PowerShot G5 X has a built-in lens, an 8.8-37mm f/1.8-2.8 zoom that frames like 24-99mm on full frame. You can't swap it, so there are no lenses to buy for it. The zoom covers a lot, so for most everyday shooting you won't miss an extra lens.

If you want to change lenses, you need an interchangeable-lens camera. For a first one, I'd look at a mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor and its kit zoom, then add lenses as you need them. Before you commit, check the three questions to ask, especially which lenses you'll want in two years.
