Very finely detailed, actually. What was the distance to the bird? Is this also with your 82ED and 30X eyepiece?

No landscapes as yet but here's a couple of pics of flowers to be going on with.
avan said:The P1 have the Nikkor lens as the CP4500, it's not an ED, but fairly good. For digiscoping, the P serie are slighly better than the cp 4500 4mp in term of overall render, mettering and color, but you need good light or it's start to make grainy image especially for long distance subject. Generaly the camera in digiscoping tend to flatten small details. Where the P serie excell is it's way faster than the predecessor. As for the power consomption, friday it was 20 celsius here, and I go out with 3 batterys, but only use one for all the day (around 80 shots, lots of preview, lots of on/off, zooming, etc.with no sign of low power on the lcd). So with a good temperature it's pretty fair (below zero, it drain pretty fast). The manual focus area positioning work very good, even if you have branch in the way, so no more need of the infinity position. The final image don't take very well unsharp mask in post processing, so I shut it down in the camera.
There's 2 pictures taken this week end digiscoping with the P1, Nikon 82ED, 30XDS eyepiece. The Canadian goose was about 100-125 fts and the mallard at around 30 fts. Both at 50 iso and -EV compensation.
