    Need a good point and shoot for digiscoping

       I have read the other camera posts, but none are really what I need. 

    What I need is a good , cheap point-n-shoot that will fit most scopes and binoculars.((I have taken pictures through my binocs, and they are really good. sometimes better then through the scope.))  I am on a teenagers salary ( I am 15), so it can't be too expensive.

    The camera I currently have is a Polaroid i534.  It is really great for only 100 bucks, but the shutter isn't too great.  I need something just one step up from this.

    Can anyone help?

     


    Good Luck Birding

    I'd be interested in this too.  I'm not on a teenagers budget but still pretty limited and would love to purchase a new camera.  One that I can use from a distance.  Anything would be better than my Kodak Easy Share!

    I have a Canon S3 IS (which I got for my 16th birthday) and it's a great camera. Though it is pretty expensive (now probably around 300 dollars). I would say that the S3 is the best point and shoot camera out there.
