I wonder why your message showed up 3 times?
To most of us, "fisheye" is a special effect. It is a lens that
has a extremely wide field of view, and a lot of distortion.
We normally use a wide angle lens that isn't so extreme.
In the case of a 2000/2100 you don't get real interchangeable
lenses. The lens is fixed to the camera body. The only prosumer
cameras I know of would be those from Canon. According to
someone here, In reality, many people buy an Canon XL series
camera because of the interchangeable lenses, but then don't
wind up using most of them, or don't get around to buying them.
What you are seeing are supplemental lenses that can be added
to the front of the camera's built in lens. They come in several
flavors. Fisheye, wide angle, and telephoto. As usual, you get
what you pay for so be careful with your choices. Add-on lenses
are not quite as good as real interchangeable lenses, but they
make a good compromise for many people.
Many people feel that the built in lens doesn't go wide enough
to shoot in tight places, and wider is easier when hand holding
the camera. For this reason it might be a good idea to buy a
good wide angle adapter. A fisheye adapter will give you so
much distortion, that it probably won't be very useful in the long run.
When picking a wide angle adapter, you need to consider it's
ability to hold focus while zooming. Many are not very good at this.
