Hi,RedBishop said:I have no issues with the A95 since it was already provedn to be a good digiscoping camera, my only concern is will it work with the Huge and unique eyepiece of the Pentax and is there any adapter available somewhere in the world for such combination.
Sure:RedBishop said:...I want to know if there is a suitable A95 adapter that will allow me to look though it in some way without the need to remove it from the eyepiece.
don't really persuade me.Quirky ergonomics; poor performance; average image quality.
RedBishop said:Any one had a try of the above combination for digiscoping ?
Pentax 80-PF ED and the Canon A95 ? or any other camera besides the Contax (not enough manual control) and the CP4500 (outdated, slow) ?
Neil said:I'd be interested how it handles whites as this is a problem with digicams , particularly in JPEG. How fast is the camera and how many consectutive shots can you take before the buffer is full? Does it have a RAW or TIFF Mode?. How many focus points can you select in Spot Focus Mode? Can you select Macro with buttons or do you have to go to the Menu?
Sorry about all the questions but I'm planning to upgrade my Kyocera and I would like these things.Neil.

1) High-speed is 2 shots/second ("Large/Fine mode with LCD monitor off") per manual. Not sure what it is in Superfine Mode with LCD monitor on.
2) Buffer seems to hold about 13 shots in my informal test indoors in Large/Superfine mode. (manual is silent on this) Don't hold me to this. (www.dpreview.com review may answer this)
3) Selecting Focus points uses "FlexiZone" setting of the AF frame. This can be moved in very small increments all over the image frame. (manual p. 81)
4) No RAW or TIFF (I don't use those, so I don't miss them)
5) Macro mode is set pressing the bottom of the mode dial once. It is quick; you do not have to go through the menu.
