Adapter for Fuji Finepix S5600 (1 Viewer)

Hi Everyone,
I have recently retired and I intend to get back into my early life interest of birding now that, hopefully, I have more free time.
I would like to get into digiscoping and having read the posts regarding this I know I'm in the right place.
I do not have a scope yet but I'm considering one of the opticron range, possibly the ES 80 ED that I've seen recommended on here but my question is is there an adapter to match my Fuji Finepix S5600 to a spotting scope.
Any hints, tips or information gratefully recieved, I class myself as a complete novice.
Cheers
Brian
 
hi Brian,

the second half of this thread might be helpfull:

Im sure thats a good camera,but because the lens is quite wide,you may run into a few problems lining it up with the scopes eyepiece.

Good luck with your digiscoping,it can feel very rewarding once you get the hang of it.

regards
