I have been looking for a super zoom bridge, but I like to use a polarizing filter. What super zoom bridge cameras have threads on the lens so I can use filters? It seems that most do not.

I have the Canon sx 60 hs, it has threads. I've only had it for a few days, but really liking what I have been able to do with it. Maybe check out some stats on the internet for size.

Do your own check of the specifications of what's available here:

Panasonic Lumix FZ-70, Has a 60X zoom starting at 20mm wide angle (which is rare). Selling today for $250 and below if you watch for a sale. Circular polarizing filter from them is DMW-LPL55, apparently 55mm.
Be careful with a CPL at focal lengths below 25mm because you might get vignetting if the CPL isn't a thin one.

I do not know of any semi serious camera that does have a thread for filters.
As RWR says, check the specs before your purchase anything. More precisely check for (lens diameter) = (size in mm)

What people have described as threads on the Canon SX50 and SX60 is actually just what the cap snaps into.

It may look that way but it's not threads, just grooves to hold the lens cap on.
Requires a filter adapter FA-DC67A
Adapter required when mounting a 67mm filter.

The Canon SX50 HS (refurb) is back on sale for 149.99
I purchased one about 4 weeks ago for this price and have taken a ton of pictures with it and am very pleased, it is a fantastic edition to my Canon 40D and T5i and for the price you can't go wrong, you still get a warranty and all.

If you don't like it you can sell it for more than what you bought it for.

The Canon SX-40, SX-50, SX-60 do not have threads- it looks like it but it is not threaded. There are a number of inexpensive adapters available to use to attach filters. The better ones are for 67mm filters.

The Sony HX300 & HX400 (50x superzoom) has built-in threads for 55mm filters and/or lens hoods...no adapters required. They mount direct to the lens.
