Message: <blockquote data-quote="yenlung" data-source="post: 1651474" data-attributes="member: 69037">I have a Swarovski ATS80HD spotting scope with a 20-60x zoom eyepiece. Recently I bought a DCB bracket because I like the idea that I can use my spotting scope as usual and flip my camera down to take a quick picture if I want. Anyway, I start to look for a camera. I try to read as many posts in this forum as possible. However, the more I read, the harder I can make the decision and the list of possible cameras becomes longer and longer...To name a few, Nikon P6000Canon S90, G11 (I still don't quite understand why a G series camera is not a good choice for digiscoping?)Panasonic FX150 (FX180), LX3 (70mm is too short?)Sony WX1, TX1 (today a friend of mine told me I should consider a camera with "internal zoom lens", that's why I add TX1 to my list)Fujifilm F200EXRRicoh GX200 (again, 70mm is too short?) or new GXR ...I hope the camera:1. have no vignetting if it is possible.2. can be quickly setup.3. have a shutter release cable or a remote control (is it important?)I am still debating whether I should get a smaller compact camera or a more powerful, but heavier one (like P6000). Do I miss some important point? Do you have any experience in this kind of (or similar) setup? Any thoughts would be appreciated.Yenlung</blockquote>
