Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil" data-source="post: 1889080" data-attributes="member: 1568">I was down in Singapore last week for 5 days but only one day was marginally suitable to get out and digiscope.  In the early morning cloudy light the AF on the Sony Nex 5 let me down a lot when digiscoping a Striated Heron on mudflats, so I had to get out the trusty P6000 which doesn't miss a beat in the worst of weathers.  When the light picked up a bit and I was able to get a bit closer the Nex 5 did a good job of bringing out detail, but the images do need a bit of "processing".  The flip up screen is a godsend.NeilSony Nex 5 and Sony 16/2.8 lens and Swarovski STM80HD scope and Sw 25-50x zoom and DCA adapterSingapore.July 2010</blockquote>
