More on Nikon P6000
Rumours are true - see http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/Nikon_P6000_camera_boasts_GPS_and_RAW_news_265108.html.
No doubt better reviews to follow.

Most of the early comments on P6000 on dpreview.com are quite negative. Too many megapixels, lens too slow at the long end (f/5.9) and propriatary RAW format (windows only, does not work with current software or with Macs). No indication if focus speed has been improved.

revs,
I'd say that, judging from your D300 + 500mm lens pics, they look great. Now you're really torn between the two systems.
Looking at the specs (lens focal length, speed & sensor size) it looks like we have already had a camera like this: Canon G5. Though a great camera, it unfortunately wasn't very digiscoping friendly. Only eyepieces with very long eye-relief (like yours, wings
) can easily be used with it.Ilkka

Well, I'm not impressed....
The P5100 was already extremely slooooow... This one will probably be just as bad, if not worse with more megapixels and RAW. In fact this is probably why Nikon does not offer HD video with this camera.
Add to this the very slow lens and the proprietary RAW not compatible with anything else. Not for me thanks !
However, many have succes digiscoping with the P5100 - this one may also perform well - but I wouldn't count on it to double as an all around camera.

hi, i'm new to digiscoping, and am using the p5100 coupled to an raii spotting scope, which although i've only experimented with seems to be amazing to a newbie, but my question is have you found a remote shutter release for the 5100? the mc-eu1 seems to be a generic sort of thing, which from what i've seen elsewhere works with a multitude of coolpix camera's, i just don't want to splash out and then be disappointed can u help?
