Hi there,
As anyone who has read any of my other posts will know I am totally new to this and don't really have much of an Idea. I'm hoping someone on here can help answer some of my questions...
General Digiscoping Questions
1) What are the advantages / disadvantages of using a camera and digiscope over a camera with a long lens (apart from their obvious size)?
2) Do the scopes have adjustable focal lengths or are they fixed?
3) Are scopes suitable for every day zoom photography (extreme zoom landscapes is one example) or just wildlife spotting?
Camera Questions
I currently own an Olympus C700 digital camera and am aware this suitable for digiscoping...
1) Would the up and comming Fujifilm Finepix S7000 be suitable?
2) I know Nikon are the best for digiscoping...what other cameras are good? I'd like one with a fair bit of zoom if possible so I can use it as my everyday camera as well as a spotting camera.
I have many other questions but can't think of any at the moment.
I'd appreciate any help. Everyone on here has been great so far
Thanks
Paul
