widget 0 #1 August 11, 2003 I would like to buy Nikon Coolpix 4300 and Harbortronics Digisnap 2000 shutter. Does anybody have any experience with this model of digital camera in skydiving? Does this Nikon work OK with Digisnap 2000? Blue Skies, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #2 August 12, 2003 I would recommend the CoolPix 5000, actually. The camera body, itself costs a bit more than the 4300, but you'll be better in the long run. The 5000 has a native 28mm lens. With the 4300, you'd need an adapter and lens to go wider than the native 38mm lens it has. The 5000 has higher resolution, and can be used with the DigiSnap 5000. The 4300 would require the 2200 or the 2500 models. While I have enjoyed the feedback of the 2500, the ability to use my 5000 as a time lapse, and the programmability functions of the 2500 - this may not be as cost effective as the DigiSnap 5000. I just received the 5000 from Harbortronics, and preliminary testing is very pleasing. I will give a more in-depth review when I have time to jump it, and get a better feel for its use long-term. The CoolPix 5000 also has a $200 rebate if you can find someone who has one in stock. Best Buy had them on clearance some time ago. Try every one of them in your area. If you find a return, you'll be looking at a great deal on a camera that produces excellent images, can be used with an inexpensive shutter release, does not require any further lenses, and has been proven in-use by other camera flyers. - Cajones The laws of physics are strictly enforced.
