Proper gear just makes already difficult digiscoping easier and more fun. Whenever I feel a tool I need is overpriced, I soothe myself in the knowledge I don't have the skills or tools to build a comparable product for less!8-PThe most important parts are the scope/lens and the tripod/mount. The camera you choose is a distant third. That said, I have always been suprised by the popularity of Nikon digicams for digiscoping on this forum. Even Nikon-centric digicam review sites rate them poorly compared to their piers. I don't have the patience to put up with their inconvienences nor the time to waste as they lazily write images to memory cards. Tip, bring something to read!:-O Ironically, I think Nikon makes the most innovative, easy-to-use dSLRs with superior IQ compared to other brands. Good luck with the kit and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Rick</blockquote>
