Second, digiscope. I followed your link to your posting and I must say I'm rather intrigued. I enjoy photographing birds, but really have no idea what birds they are and I don't find it necessary to know either. I simply enjoy shooting them. I'm currently using my Canon 100-400mm, which does a nice job, but I can see the advantages of using a spotting scope combined with a quality p&s, especially something that shoots in RAW as well (to help make adjustments when and where necessary). Thank you for posting about this form of wildlife photography, which I had not heard of before.

I enjoy your comments in the yahoo digiscoping group. I recently went back to P&S using a sony W100. I don't have a cable release, but using burst mode and setting the camera timer (2-10secs) the camera will fire 5 shots without having to touch the camera. This option, I believe, is also available in the N1. Jose Great pics and story Steve. I enjoy your comments in the yahoo digiscoping group. I recently went back to P&S using a sony W100.

The kingfisher is a real cutie, and you're right, they don't usually stand still and pose for us. Great photos, Steve.
