Bargain - Nikon CP 4500

[Vectis Birder]

I went into town after work this afternoon to look for a reasonable digiscoping compact. I came home with an secondhand Nikon Coolpix 4500 for the bargainous price (well, I think so) of £59 from the Island Photo Centre in Newport.
Initial results - I've just tried it out on trees and static objects for now - are encouraging, considering the light was going and I'm using a Kowa TSN 601 which has only a 60mm objective...I will need bright sunny days for now, until I can afford that Swaro I have my eye on! ;)

£59 is a right result

sounds like a great buy to me - they are a bit slow and old, but I'd snap one up at that price!
