Hi birders
This is not meant to be an advertisement, so I'll keep my comments general.
Anyone who has kept an eye on the digiscoping phenomenon (see
Birding-Aus archive for an explanation of what this is) will have
noticed that a group of swivel design Nikon Coolpix cameras (current the
4500) dominate the field. There are a number of technical features
which contribute to this - principally the small diameter lens, and
completely internal zoom - it's also a pretty decent 4MP camera for
other purposes, particularly macrophotography.
Anyhow, the gist of this message is that the price is falling - perhaps
the 4500 is about to be superseded - but the lowest retail price has
fallen by about 30% in the last year or so since it was released. Now
or soon might be a good time to buy - contact me if you're interested in
where I got mine (in Australia) for $1049 (most others still selling it
for $1300-1500).
