We are not only digiscoping newbies, but fieldscope newbies as well. Camera to scope alignment is still a little tough with the DCA. Learning the scope mechanics, etc and we don't have a cable release bracket (yet).  We ordered a bracket from SRB-Griturn and hopefully it will be here soon.    After a couple of years of using a Canon Rebel DSLR......and going to a compact camera took a bit of getting used to. So far, we really like it in spite of it's small stature.  Menus are easy enough to get around and we will probably go into the more detailed manual soon.  The only pain that we find is that the battery and the memory stick are on the bottom.  However, with a full charge and fresh stick; It should yield many pics before having to change either.   All were cropped except the cormorant pic and not too much post processing was done.  We still even have to learn some basic post processing.  Learning curve, but fun!   If anyone can assist with some settings that we should be looking at, much appreciated!! :t:William</blockquote>
