    CP 4500 - TC-E3ED or Eagle Eye OpticZoom 5x?

    I have decided to buy a lens for my Coolpix 4500 but am having difficulty deciding whether to get the TC-E3ED or the Eagle Eye OpticZoom 5x. I have seen good and bad things said about each of them. My experience is fairly limited so I don't want anything too difficult, although I'm willing to...

    Coolpix 4500 - shake icon problem

    I'm on holiday and trying to get to grips with my new cp4500. When I'm using the landscape function, the red shake icon keeps flashing, even when the camera is sat on a solid base (so its not the shake of my hands). Please does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening, whether...

    Digital Photography Books

    I have just bought a Nikon CP4500 with the intention of buying a scope in the new year (once I have the cash and have got more familiar with the camera). As a novice (albeit an enthusiastic one) I admit that the intricacies of it all are somewhat overwhelming. :h?: Can anyone recommend a good...

    Help - Where do I start?!

    Thanks Andy. Actually I'm Brolac's wife - Brolac is an avid birder and while I'm happy birding with him, having not had a passion for the hobby since a child, I have a slightly shorter attention span. I have however, always wanted to take up photography and digiscoping seems like a good...

    Help - Where do I start?!

    I would love to start digiscoping but the more I look into it the more confused I get - I need some help! At the moment I have neither a digital camera or scope - the plan is to buy these (plus necessary extras) over the next 12 months. I would like to buy the digital camera this year to get...

    Excellent news! New Zealand's island sanctuaries play an incredibly important role in bird conservation in the country. We visited Tiritiri Matangi (of the coast of Auckland) when we were over there in January and it was highly encouraging to see the amazing work being undertaken there. The...

Bulgaria does sound very interesting though (has the added benefit of being...

    Birding Holidays in Southern Europe

    Please can anyone suggest good areas for bird watching in southern Europe (in particular Spain and Italy) for later August/early September.

    Comment by 'Brolac' in media 'Takahe'

    My wife and I went to Tiritiri during a holiday to New Zealand in January. The Island reserve acts as a predator-free reservoir for a number of threatened species. There are currently 20 takahe on Tiritiri, out of a total population of around 230, so the place is very important, and well worth a...
