I've just bought a Swaro ats 80hd with a dcb-a & now I need a suitable digi camera to take mainly bird photos. No real idea where to start. I want something simple. I've also heard that i would probably need a remote control to avoid vibration. Can anybody suggest a suitable camera please? Any views are welcome. :stuck:

many thanks

At the moment the Fuji F30 seems to be one of the best around, however, new cameras are coming onto the market all the time.

Best thing to do is have a look at the F30 threads and take it from there.

Also have a look at http://www.dpreview.com/ it's a great site for information on cameras, not necessarily for digiscoping, but you might see something you like then ask again.

Regards

John
