Thanks for that input Alanjns,
I've been looking around for a digiscope to use with either a compact digi or dslr.
The dslr seems a bit awkward to handle for me at the moment with a digiscope, unless I had a non moving subject

was thinking of the built in camera ones but I guess you have to pay a fortune to get a decent one.
So I think I will just get a digiscope and use a cdc with it.
Or get a super dooper camera and camera lens.
Living off my redundancy just now so until I get a permenant job, I wont be buying anything too expensive just now.
