Cheap digiscoping camera (1 Viewer)

[jace2004]

I just brought a nikon p5100 from ebuyer.com,
when on the site i saw a samsung s630 6mp camera for 39.99 so i looked for a review found one on ephotozine.com said that it was reasonable good camera,
as i have been looking for a cheap camera to stick in the car so i ordered that as well.

just got it thought i would try it on my scope need to zoom 1x to get rid of vignetting very easy to setup it has program and manual modes the menu system is similar to my canon a95,
set it up on my baaber microstage 2 digital camera adapter

its very dull and cloudy today in bury st edmunds all i could find was a wood pidgin to photograph took at around 20m
iso200 not bad for the second shot

Overall, I am very pleasantly surprised by the image quality,
The camera operates quite fast,
fast focus,
macro shots are excellent

Nice result. If you got it new this must be one of the best deals ever.

The Samsungs have been getting a good wrap over the years , although I don't know this model.
Can you set up a simple test to compare the two?

some more pictures

this would be a good camera if some one was just starting digiscoping or as a backup

All the dunnock's was shot at 20m
the sparrow was around 29m the closeup is a crop

I am using a opticron es80 with 20-60x hdf eyepice
all pictures were taken at 1x zoom on the camera
and eyepice at around 23x
iso 80

i will try to do a test neil
