I tried digicoping with astro scope WO Megrez and Canon EOS 450D. Photos were very good, but the whole system (with adapters, extensions, barlow and teleconverters and without tripod) weight more than 4 kg (abot 9 pounds). I'm near 30 and I found difficult to walk long hikes. System with tripod and camera weight more than 7 kg (16 pounds).
So I'm selling my astro scope and heavy tripod. I would like to buy Kowa Prominar TSN-883 or 884 with zoom eyepiece (for observing birds too). I have EOS 450d, but I would like to buy Panasonic G1 or Nikon p6000. They are lighter than EOS. Which one do you propose? I would like to have camera with interchangeable lenses. If the point and shoot is better for digiscoping then I would buy Nikon and keep EOS. It will be perfect to have one one camera for all purposes.
Panasonic test is here CLICK and here CLICK and noise at high ISO is quite good. And the rotating LCD, live view ... -
With Panasonic or Nikon and Kowa the setup withot tripod will have under 2 kilos :t::t::t: Very good for hikes into the mountains and for longer hikes.
Thanks in advance.
