I'm looking for anyone who has installed filter rings on a P520 camera. I've looked at different web sites and they seem to conflict on the installation and size of the filters. Some say 62mm and some say 67mm. Can anyone verify the installation (how they attach) and correct size?

Apparantly that camera does not have filter threads. There are filter adapters that slip on. So, it would depend on the adapter, not the camera.

I tried getting info on filters for that camera, even Nikon could not really answer my question, so based on that I agree with bsprague, a slip on filter adapter, or you could make your own. There are lots of materials (aluminum tubing, pvc, rubber) that you could attach a filter to.

The filter thread is M51. I have a 51-62 step-up ring on mine (KIWIFOTOS LA-62P520 AP40716).

I second RWR. I have the same setup on one of my P520's. Use a Tiffen CPL with it. So far, no problems.
