Can somebody please tell me what the best filters are for a Sony HDR-FX1? The polarizing filter kit from Sony, which includes a protector lens costs $159.99. I've seen them for $5 all the way up over $100, so I don't know which is the best to get.

Can anyone recommend another filter besides the polarizing and protector lens? I will be working indoors and outdoors doing a project based on a reality tv show.

Thanks

The UV protective lens is good to have. A polarizing filter will give you a prettier blue sky, and allow you to prevent reflections off of glass. These are both good to have. Anything else you may not need. Some people like to shoot with a Tiffen ProMist filter on, which can give your footage a more film like image. However, if you're going for the reality show look, you probably won't need that. I can't think of anything else you'd need to shoot a reality TV project. If I'm missing something, then someone please correct me.
