    Nikon P5100

    This is exactly the way I attach my P5100 to my Kowa scope. It works perfectly.

    Bird In Flight Shots with P5100 Tried something new with my P5100 today. I had seen a pair of short eared owls on my last trip out and I thought I would try to capture them in flight digiscoping.I figured that with their slower flight, they might be a bit easier to capture. I have attached a...

    Nikon P5100

    I have had my P5100 for about 3 months now and it continues to deliver good results. I tried digiscoping some insects at close range at the weekend (in comparison with my CP8400) the P5100 fared better with this dragonfly the pick of the crop. It was on macro setting with a 32x lens and no...

    Nikon P5100

    Martin, Nice results over distance. I've found this camera to be reliable over distance and the AF is more reliable than most. The screen is bright enough too to establish focus. I hope you don't mind but I had a play with the Wood Sandpiper image as it looked nice against the light...

    Nikon P5100

    P5100 update. been using my P5100 for about a month now, it is still producing the goods, I'm especially pleased with the quality of the shots of birds taken at a considerable distance then cropped.(I think it performs better over a long distance than it does close up). The king eider was about...

    Hi Rob I have used the 20-60 for digiscoping before, its not the best.Once you start to zoom out you loose the sharpness. I'm not sure how the DCa-DA10 connects, but with my DA-1 I needed the zoom extension.I just use fixed lenses (27x or 32x) and these seem to get better results. I got my...

    Nikon P5100

    Thanks for your comments guys. I took the p5100 for a test in the field yesterday, I managed a few decent shots but I think there is some room for improvement. I think I had the sharpness setting too high (2), the close ups seem a bit 'harsh' also the metering was auto. I thought that it might...

    Nikon P5100

    Just tried out the P5100 for the first time today.I must say that i'm pretty impressed.I used it with a Kowa 823,32mm lens kowa adapter and ure-20. I've so far been using a Coolpix 8400 and I have been happy with that but the P5100 is much lighter, had no vignetting and Iwas able to crop the...
