This is actually a question my sister has. She's wondering if its possible to put a zoom lens on a point-and-shoot camera. We figured it wasn't possible, but I figured i'd double check just in case someone has heard of a way.

the vast majority of point-and-shoot cameras will not allow lenses to be used.
some however, such as a few cannons, have some grooves around the lens which can fit an adapter, which you can then place a lens on top of. look for this screw-on type ridges around the ridge of your camera lens.

In order to actually change the lenses you'll need to get an SLR.
