The Fuji S5700 is not a good camera for digiscoping. The massive zoom on the camera just doesn't allow any light into the camera, and any focusing becomes extremelly difficult. | |

The Canon S70 is quite ideal for Digiscoping. It is an old model and if I had the money I would go for the Canon S90. Why? because of the image stabilization. I am not saying don't try the S70 but if you see it cheap it would be a great starter for a camera with full manual settings!!. Down side is that it does drain the batteries so it would be better if you bought a spare and also the LCD screen does not do any justice when viewing. Here are some results from the S70 A dunnock taken in cloudy conditions. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ0g9Nbf9J0/S8dVgN2jibI/AAAAAAAAAOI/NdyDG8quoMU/s1600/Dunnock+001N.jpg A green woodpecker taken in full sunlight. but again I would get up to date as I can't see the S90 being any worse just updated! | |
