    Fuji Finepix F11 - review from an A95 user

    I got the F11 for my brother and tried it for digiscoping. The conclusions are - A Fantastic camera for general usage but below average for digiscoping. The main reason why I thought this camera would be good for digiscoping is the high ISO capabilities of the Fuji Super CCD. To my eyes ISO 100...
