Last night they road tested the new scope with built in camera, the results seemed impressive. Not sure if channel 5 have an I Player.

I think this is it:

I can't see a way to fast-forward though and I don't think I can face watching a whole episode of the Gadget Show. :eek!: There was a thread about the scope on this forum a little while ago.

A singularly irritating programme, but you can 'fast forward' by hovering over the screen so that a purple band appears at the foot of the page along the upper edge of which is a thin black line. Click on a small grey blob at the far left of this line and scroll on to 15.15 (through to 19.30)where the item on the Zeiss 85FL Photoscope is put through its paces vs a Nikon Edg 85 scope with SLR attached. Some nice shots of African wildlife, but as a guide to which was better (or at least the strengths and weakenesses of each) the report was pretty useless,

What you expect from Channel Five?

I googled it and this was the first link that came back.

If these pics are from what The Gadget show reviewed then they are pretty decent

Yes, those pics are 'pretty decent' but at £3799 for the Zeiss Photoscope so they should be.

I think the most impressive thing about the item were the results obtained from the FinePix HS10 bridge camera. At £279 it looks like a bit of a bargain.

Wow that much? Okay for that much I would expect jaw dropping images not pretty decent. Still I wouldn't mind one for free....
