Hi,

I had been using a Canon A95 for handheld digiscoping as well as macro photos of plants, butterflies etc. Unfortunately it broke a while ago and I've been using a camera phone, although this is a poor sustitute, especially for close ups.

Does anyone recommend a camera for digiscoping that is also good for macro?

Many thanks,
Gi

Have a look at the samsung nv3 as well. A good all rounder. They are now selling at £99 in currys and pcworld.
