Hi there and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum.

We're glad you found us and thanks for taking a moment to say hello

You might want to duplicate your query in the Digiscoping sub-forum here as it will get a lot more attention in that area. Good luck and hopefully we'll see some shots from you before long

Hello tusharkroy,
And another welcome to the Birdforum. Following KC's suggestion will get you a lot of info. Unfortunately you won't get just one answer as to best camera and best scope. There are lots of cameras out there that are pretty good but none that are "perfect" for digiscoping. You'll just have to decide which one you like best. Let us know how you get on with the digiscoping.

Hi...

Fuji F30
SRB~Griturn digiscoping adapter
Zeiss 85 / Nikon ED82 / Lecia Apo77 / Swarovski 80HD
Solid tripod and smooth pan/tilt head, e.g. Velbon SherpaPro + Manfrotto 700RC2

Take your pick from the scopes! In the US the Nikon is exceptional value and the 30xW would be a fine choice. For birding I like the Zeiss 85 with 20-60x zoom.
