Which camera is best for digiscoping for bird watching?
The camera best suited for digiscoping is the Nikon 9xx series camera, because of certain design qualities such as swivel body, internal zoom, and focusing. Most important is the small lens diameter, which can fit into the rubber eyecup of most scopes on the market. The method described here is about digiscoping with Nikon cameras, but you can apply the same procedure with any make camera. To digiscope, you have to make an adaptor ring in order to center and to place the camera as close as possible to the scope eyepiece. I made mine using a plastic milk bottle cap and a piece of film cannister. The shooting is done afocally (capturing the image with a camera that would otherwise be reaching your eye).
