Hi guys and girls..
i would like help with a good camera that i can use for digiscoping but would like the one that can be use with a remote control so you don't touch the camera whilst shooting the shot8-P

Good idea Bazza, as you seemed to have figured that at such high powers any movement at all with low light and slower shutter will most likely result in blurr. The camera I used the last 4 years had a remote release however I never used it for digiscoping. For one thing the sensor is usually located on the front of camera and I thought that seemed unhandy. I installed a cable release on the adapter and have been satisfied with results. I focus with the scope and like the feel of getting the green light when pressed halfway. I'm sure some though are happy using a remote.

You can buy generic cable releases quite easily that'll fit on to any camera (will require a tripod screw thread on your camera though) that avoid touching the camera while you take the shot.
That tends to suit most people but if you're after an electronic remote then all manufacturers (esp. Canon and Nikon) make them for their cameras but these are sometimes pricey and don't really justify the expense over a simple cable release IMO.
