Default A New experience
Sharing another few shots from our recent trip. These were taken by my wife using a Nikon scope and her first experience in using it.

Not bad at all, a scampering Redshank also can catch using a MF digiscope

P6000 is one the best digicam for scoping, however more ppl are switching to DSLR for scoping as well. wat u need is to buy dslr adaptor from the shop.

Actuslly, I am still evaluating between the P6000 and the Panasonic LX-3. I like the P6000 for its geotagging feature but it's battery life sucks.

According to specs, the battery can last for only about 260+ shots. This is a real let down

Scoping will be another alternative if you want to put away with the weight issue and spending big bucks
