Digiscoping camera

I also have a question about the best digiscoping camera. I have recently purchased and have just started to use an Alpen 20-60 X 80 scope and the Alpen camera adapter. I got them hooked up along with my daughter's Kodak EasyShare 813 (8 MP), which I am trying to make sure the setup works before I purchase a my own small point and shoot camera. Any touch of the setup creates a good deal of vibration. It is difficult to get a picture that is not blurry. Are there any small cameras that have a remote or cable shutter activation?

Thanks.

Hi

You'll have to check the market for that feature on a camera, as the market is ever changing, but most small point and shoots do not. However, you can always use the timer to take a pic if your subject is co-operating. A more common feature to be found on digitals to help with the shakes, these days, is image stabilization. This will certainly help.

Lastly, keep the magnification on the camera to a minimum and use the scope to get the magnification. Even there, use it minimally. Remember, you will always be able to do some cropping when you edit.

Another thing to remember is that your tripod plays a large part in how steady your setup is. A better tripod and head will go a long way for stability.

Good point. Thanks, John.
