Hi birders,

Can you help me with info about the best camera for digiscoping and some recomendations when the weather is cloudy or foggy or in sunny days?.

Many thanks and sorry for this short message.

I assume you mean using a pocket camera with a fieldscope as a super-telephoto lens? If so, I think the Panasonic FX150 and Sony W300 are probably the best choices now. But new Canon S90 might be even better when it debuts next month.

Digiscoping is usually best on sunny days so camera shutter speeds are fast to freeze action. Cloudy days will make it difficult to get many sharp pics. Foggy days make it impossible.
