What is the difference between wide-angle and fisheye lenses ?
Being a budding photographer, I'm hoping to purchase my third camera ( a FUJIFILM S9600 ) and I'm also planning to purchase a wide-angle and fisheye lens.
I like wide-angle because you can get more into your pictures but i also like fisheye because of the distortion.
Is there any difference and would I be better just getting one?
Or should I buy the two?
thanks 
wide angle is a panoramic view like very wide angle.. Fish eye is a circular view with circular distortion as a fish would view, almost 360 degree view. Hard to descibe
