Looking for an affordable camera for Zeiss Diascope 65 (1 Viewer)

I´m a newbie in digiscoping, and i´m just bought a diascope with 23x eyepiece. Now i´m searching for a good camera for this scope.

What do you think about the Nikon coolpix s9? It´s "cheap", lightweight and has no moving parts outside of the cameracase (i´m thinking especially of the zoom).

Does anybody know another affordable cam ?

Thanks

Consider the Fuji F30 or F31d. Small, lightweight, and noise is low and I've gotten great results w/ my Zeiss 85 and 20-60X zoom.

The F30 and the Nikon P5000 seem to be the main choices at present from newer models. I've just acquired a Nikon P5000.

If you can get hold of the Nikon CP4500 then it's still the best design for digiscoping as far as I'm concerned - despite it's age and slower operation compared to some of the newer models.

I've not looked at the S9 - looks like it would be prurely for hand holding from it's design - which I can't get away with for digiscoping.

Samsung NV3, cheap as chips, £130 or less, 3X optical, 7 mill pix, large contrasty screen, does good video as well, idiot proof controls, (we like that!) SRB now do an adapter for it

Anti shake setting is worth its weight in gold, reasonable hand held record shots without an adapter but you need a steady hand, it chooses its own ISO setting though, with an adapter attached, quite good pics
