Should be recording bird song
I am completely new at digiscoping... Hope this makes sense!
I'm pretty set on getting myself a Pentax PF65ED scope... and now I'm thinking of the camera to go with it.
Obviously, Pentax is ALSO a fairly large manufacturer of the compact digital cameras of the general genre that seem to be popular with digiscoping (from what I can tell). They sell a bunch of cameras with 3x zoom, small lens diameters, etc. The Optio A10, which has caught my eye (probably just cos its newest and shiniest, but oh well) has 8 MPixels and image stabilization, which also has had some proponents. Pentax even make an adapter to match their scopes up to their cameras.
However I have found very little about digiscoping with Optio cameras (with or without Pentax scopes). Am I missing something? Has anyone had any success? Did you use the Pentax adapter or something else?
Cheers,
Rob
