    Nikon P5100

    Several months, and still undecided on the P5100! :-C Might have to read the thread from the start again to help me decide on a digiscoping camera to replace my old Olympus C5000 :t:

    I'm surprised it isn't possible to disable preview of photo. I don't own a P5100 yet, (hopefully soon). I'll wait with interest to see if anyone figures out how to disable the image preview.

    Still undecided on the Nikon P5100. an IR or wired remote would mean this is an ideal digiscoping camera. But I know people are getting good results with the P5100, and not seen much about other cameras. Hmmm

    I've had quite good results with an adaptor similar to this: http://www.cleyspy.co.uk/ovl-universal-digiscoping-adapter-i643.html Not very pretty, but it does the trick especially once you add a q/r plate. The only 2 things which are holding me back from buying the P5100 is it's lack of RAW...

    Thats very similar to the adaptor I use. Only modification I've done is modify an old tripods quick release plate bolted on so that I can use a q/r on the camera. Saves aligning the camera up every time.
