Digiscoping with Canon Ixus 80 or 85?

[ruggiel]

Hallo everybody!

I was used to have a Canon Ixus 65 in my pocket as my favorite camera for digiscoping with my Swarovski HD AT70 but since I lost it, I'am confused : too many new models are now on the market, Ixus and Powershot series seems both suitable for digiscoping:

what do you recommend ? Canon Ixus series 80 or 85 ?

Thanks a lot!

could you tell me the distance this video was taken?

The Diver was very close at about 12-15 meters far from us. Using the Swaro 20x60, I generally do not zoom because I don't mount any camera-scope adaptor and thus the imagine can lose sharpness and get more blur

I use the Canon IXUS 65 for digiscoping ? it works really well ?
I just hand hold it straight on to the zoom, plus the 3" screen is great, and the battery lasts for ever ?

I use it for reference not quality ? so im well pleased with it:t:
