Hi all,
My husband and I are thinking about buying a good quality digital camera. Unfortunately, the different purposes that we want to use it for seem to be incompatible.
We want something that will give good quality for conventional photography and making prints up to A3 size, and that has a good optical zoom, ie more than 4X. My first instinct was to go for the Nikon 5700. However, most of what I read on this forum and elsewhere suggests that this camera is no good for digiscoping.
A further limitation is that we also want to use the camera for underwater photography, so we would need to get something for which a housing is available.
One option would be to spend a bit more (well, quite a bit more) and get a DSLR, such as one of the Canon EOS models. Does anyone have any comments about using something like this for digiscoping?
Or should I just get 2 cameras, one for conventional/underwater and the other for digiscoping?
Cheers, Koren
