Ian,
Pentax has just released the X70, a SLR-like compact camera with a 24X
zoom (equal to 28-624mm in 35mm) and image stabiliser and continuos
mode at 11fps. It sounds like a good little camera for the birders
backpack. They are priced around the $550 mark. I would buy one
myself, but I blew Mr Rudd's largesse yesterday.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
PS I have no connection with Pentax, I just like the marque.

Occasionally one or two of our pelagic observers have used image
stabilized (gyro) bino's (not sure what brand) and it seems they are
bulky and the users are nearly always looking for batteries.
Pentax now have a very impressive 15 megapixel camera with image
stabilizer (K20D) at humane prices and combined with a 300 mm lens,
this seems the way to go.

While there is a thread on buying optics I was wondering if anyone
has had any experience with Canon's 10x42 Image Stabiliser
waterproof binoculars. Any thoughts about these binoculars
appreciated.
