Digiscoping
Zeiss have again come out with new ideas to digiscoping. But they probably need to work with a Digital camera vendor before they can attract a larger number of customers.

Traditional digiscoping is still the most common method when photographing stationary birds that cannot be easily approached. It is easily done using a small compact digital camera photographing through the spottingscope eyepiece using a simple adapter.

The preferred scopes have a front lens diameter of 65mm or preferably larger to collect as much light as possible for the Digital camera. The adapters can be made by yourself through some guidance from the trailblazers on the web, or purchased in most large spottingscope stores.

My Suggestion (April 2010)
If you just want a picture for your records, or for pure documentation then don't forget that mobile phone in your pocket! It always comes with a camera these days.

The camera models always improve in quality, new cameras will be in vogue, and new adapters will be made. To get the latest advice check out the below site, and others on the web. You will understand not only how great digiscoped pictures can look, but how to create them yourself (It isn't always simply point and click...).
